Kingdom Monera
A kingdom of unicellular prokaryotes.
What is Kingdom Monera?
Bacteria that obtain nutrients by decomposing the remains of living beings in the environment.
What are saprophytic bacteria, or decomposers?
The kingdom formed by eukaryotic unicellular and multicellular organisms.
What is Kingdom Protoctista?
Eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular. Their cells have chloroplasts and cell walls, similar to plants.
What are algae?
Organisms formed by eukaryotic unicellular or multicellular organisms whose cells do not have chloroplasts and do have cell walls.
What are fungi?
The most numerous organisms on earth.
What are bacteria?
Bacteria that obtain nutrients from other living things that they provide some benefit to.
What are symbiotic bacteria?
Microscopic unicellular organisms whose eukaryotic cell is similar to that of animals.
What are protozoa?
A green pigment common in algae.
What is chlorophyll?
Microscopic unicellular fungi used to make bread.
corkscrew-shaped bacteria
What are spirochaetes?
Bacteria that take nutrients from other organisms, causing them illness or disease.
What are parasitic bacteria?
A movement mechanism of protozoa characterized by long strands that move like a whip.
What is by flagella?
What are red and brown algae?
What are vibrios?
Reproduction by repeated cell division (the process by which bacteria reproduce).
What is asexual reproduction?
An example of a disease caused by parasitic protazoa.
What is malaria or amoebiasis?
The type of nutrition exhibited by algae.
What is autotrophic nutrition?
Fungi that live off other organisms and give them illnesses and diseases.
What are parasites?
Two examples of important functions of helpful bacteria.
What is promoting good intestinal function; purifying wastewater; processing waste; oxygenating water and the atmosphere; or making cheeses, yoghurt, or vinegars.
Autotrophic bacteria.
What are bacteria that create their own nutrients through photosynthesis?
The nutrition process exhibited by protozoa.
What is heterotrophic nutrition?
Special cells generated by algae from which new algae are created.
What are spores?
Two examples of functions of helpful fungi.
