Kingdom: Monera
Organisms in the Monera Kingdom reproduce in this way.
Asexually
What are the names of the 2 groups of protists in this kingdom?
Algae (Autotrophic proctists) and Protozoans (Heterotrophic Protoctists)
Fungi reproduce in this way.
Asexually.
This Kingdom is where the First Living Things on Earth are. (Bacterias and Cyanobacterias)
Moneran Kingdom
Plants are ______-celled ____-karyotic organisms.
Eukaryotic Multicellular Organisms
The Moneran Kingdom consists entirely of Bacteria. Bacteria are ______-celled ____-karyotic organisms.
Single-celled (unicellular) prokaryotic organisms.
Name the three classification groups of Algae.
Red, Brown, and Green
Are Fungi Unicellular or Multicellular? Autotrophic or Heterotrophic?
In Mushrooms, what is the name of the mass of Hyphae buried underneath the Soil? (Hint: Minecraft)
Mycelium
Do Animals in the Animal Kingdom Produce Sexually or Asexually?
Sexually
The Genetic Material and DNA in Monerans are located where?
What types of environments do Algae usually live in?
Aquatic Environments, Freshwater and Seawater
Moist Soil Habitats
Name the three types of fungi studied
Yeast, Mould and Mushrooms.
Penicillin was a life-changing discovery if accidental by Alexander Fleming. What Kingdom does Penicillin belong to?
The Fungi Kingdom
Which Kingdom is where organisms are placed that don't fit in any other Kingdom?
The Protist Kingdom
Are Bacteria Autotrophic or Heterotrophic?
Autotrophic (Cyanobacteria) and Heterotrophic (Symbiotic, Parasitic, and Saprotrophic)
Explain 2 reasons why Protists are Important in our Lives.
They act as a Food Source for other Animals
They oxygenate/ produce a majority of our world's oxygen (70%!)
The Food Industry- Seaweed, Food Colouring, Thickener, Culture Dish Preparation, Gelatin, some Cheeses
Harmful Algae- Can produce harmful toxins, or cover the Ocean Surface, preventing other helpful producers from being able to photosynthesize
Fungi prefer these types of environments.
Soil
Dark, Damp Places
Organic Matter they feed on
What is the difference between Symbiotic and Parasitic?
Symbiotes work together with their hosts to mutually benefit each other. (Ants and Aphids, Alligators and Birds)
Parasites are only harmful to their hosts. They drain resources and nutrients until the host dies.
List some differences between organisms in the Plant Kingdom vs the Animal Kingdom.
Plants do not move location, but can move in place.
Animals have sensory organs and move around.
Plants are autotrophs using photosynthesis, while Animals are heterotrophs and eat/consume.
Explain 2 out of the 4 Important Roles Bacteria take in our lives. (Beneficial or Harmful OK)
In Ecosystems- Producers of oxygen
Decomposers- break down dead matter
In Food Production- Dairy Products and other foods
In Pharmaceuticals and Medicine- Antibiotics and Vaccines
Harmful Bacteria make you sick, with some diseases possibly being deadly
What are the names of the 4 Classifications of Protozoans? How do each of them move?
Flagellates move by Flagellum, which function as a tail
Ciliates have Cilia, little hairs on the sides that move rapidly
Rhizopods use Pseudopods, morphing their body to make feet
Sporozoans are Immobile. Parasitic and transferred in other methods (Mosquitoes)
Explain 2 of the 4 reasons Fungi are important in our lives.
In ecosystems- Decomposers
In Food Production- Edible Mushrooms, Yeast for Bread, Fermentation for Wine and Beer
In medicine (antibiotics)- Eukaryotic like humans and can produce antibodies
Harmful Fungi- Parasitic Fungi like Athlete's Foot, Thrush, and Ringworm.
Some are toxic if ingested, and can even cause death.
Critical Thinking: Why is it important to have Decomposers from the Fungus and Moneran Kingdom? No Point Deduction for Being Incorrect.
Decomposers break down matter and mass so that eventually it returns to the cycle of the Earth. Without Decomposers, fallen trees would stay fallen forever. New plants would never grow, as there would be no forest ground. Crops would be harder to grow without fertilizers.
Are viruses living organisms? Explain why.
Viruses are non-cellular, as they do not have the cell structure of living things. They contain genetic material, but have no cytoplasm or organelles.
They do not perform the three vital functions; they can only reproduce by parasitizing another cell.
