- Variety of Living Organisms
- Plants
- Multicellular Organisms
- Cells have cellulose walls
- Store carbohydrates as starch and sucrose
- Cells have cellulose walls
- Contain chloroplasts
- Help carry out photosyntheis
- Examples: flowers/Pine Tree/Herbaceous Legume
- Multicellular Organisms
- Animals
- Multicellular organisms
- Cells don't contain chloroplasts
- Photosynthesis can't take place
- No cell walls
- Cells don't contain chloroplasts
- Have nervous coordination
- Are able to move to one place to another
- Store carbohydrate as glycogen
- Example: mammals
- Multicellular organisms
- Fungi
- Body - mycelium made from thread-like structures called hyphae
- Hyphae
- Contain many nuclei
- Hyphae
- Some are single-celled
- Cell walls made of chitin
- Feed by extracellular secretion of digestive enzymes onto food material and absorption of organic products
- Known as saprotrophic nutrition
- Store carbohydrates as glycogen (same as animals)
- Body - mycelium made from thread-like structures called hyphae
- Bacteria
- Microscopic single celled organisms
- Have cell wall,cell membrane, cytoplasm and plasmids
- NO NUCLEUS.
- Contain a circular chromosome of DNA
- NO NUCLEUS.
- Have cell wall,cell membrane, cytoplasm and plasmids
- Some carry out photosynthesis
- Mostly feed off living/dead organisms
- Example: Lactobacillus bulgaricus
- Microscopic single celled organisms
- Protoctists
- Microscopic single celled organisms (like bacteria)
- Amoeba - lives in pond water
- Has features of an animal cell
- Chlorella - have chloroplasts and are like plants
- Pathogenic example: Plasmodium - causes malaria
- Viruses
- Small particles
- Particles are parasitic
- Can only reproduce inside living cells
- Infect every type of organism
- Can only reproduce inside living cells
- Particles are parasitic
- No cellular structure
- Have protein coat
- Come in different shapes and sizes
- Contain one type of nucleic acid
- Either DNA or RNA
- Examples: Influenza virus/HIV virus that causes AIDS
- Small particles
- Plants
