The Noseeums
The component within bacterial cell walls that separates them from archaea.
Peptidoglycan
Although mostly unicellular, this characteristic of protists classifies them within the Domain Eukarya.
Nucleus
The distinction given to fungi due to their ability to digest material outside of their bodies.
Saprophytic/ Absorptive Heterotrophs.
Cnidaria, Echinodermata
One major derived character for all chordates
Notochord, Nerve Cord, Gill Slits, Tail
The type of ecological implication:
S. aureus is a microbe that lives on your skin. It naturally consumes dead skin that is detaching from your dermis.
Commensalism
Forams fit into this supergroup of protists. They contain thin pseudopods which allow them to catch food.
Rhizaria
The component of fungi which allow for absorption.
Hyphae/Mycelia
The phylum of animals which contain no symmetry.
Porifera
A class of animals which would be classified as tetrapods, but not amniotes.
Amphibia
The category of bacteria that stain pink in gram-staining which contain less concentrated cell wall components.
Gram Negative
Animal-like protists like gymnamoeba fit into this category of protists.
Unikonta
The name and specific process of asexual reproduction for unicellular fungi.
Yeasts :: Budding
The derm layer that is not found in many invertebrates which would make them diploblasts.
Mesoderm
The class of animals that would be classified as a gnathostome, but not an osteichthyan.
Chondrichthyes
The component within a prokaryotic cell that allows them to perform taxis
Flagellum
The supergroup of protists that parabasalids fit into. They contain a feeding groove within their cell that allows them to consume organic material.
Excavata
The phylum of fungi that contain the majority of the mycorrhizae species.
Glomeromycota
The phylum which contains insects (hexapods) and arachnids.
Arthropoda
A category of mammal which lays its amniotic eggs instead of giving birth to live young.
Monotremes
The metabolic classification of the prokaryote below:
Energy Source = Light
Carbon Source = Organic Macromolecules like carbohydrates and lipids.
Photoheterotroph
The supergroup of protists that ciliates like paramecium fit into. These contain tiny, hair-like structures which allow them to freely move.
Chromalveolata
The phylum of fungi which contain amphibian parasites with the distinction of motile spores with flagella.
Chytridiomycota
The phylum of flat worms like planaria.
Platyhelminthes
A class of animals that would be classified as a craniate, but not a gnathostome.
Myxini OR Petromyzontida
