Eubacteria and Archaebacteria(Monera)

• Prokaryotes– Lack a nucleus– Lack mitochondria and chloroplasts– Reproduce asexually

• First living organisms to evolve on theearth.

Eubacteria and Archaebacteria• Archaebacteria –

anaerobic bacteria– Thermophiles - Heat loving

bacteria.– Halophiles - Salt loving

bacteria– Acidophiles - bacteria

which thrive under highlyacidic conditions.

– Methanogens - methaneproducing bacteria

Eubacteria and Archaebacteria(Monera)

• Eubacteria – All other bacteria.

(blue-green algae)

Protista• Single celled eukaryotic organisms.• Can have flagella• Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.• Reproduction can be sexual or asexual

Amoeba Paramecium Plankton

Fungi• Heterotrophic• Eukaryotic• Cell walls made of

chitin.• Sexual and asexual

reproduction

Plantae• Multicellular• Eukaryotic• Photosynthetic• Cell walls made of cellulose.
