eukaryotes
- animals
- plants
- fungi
prokaryotes
- bacteria

- viruses
eukaryotes
animals
plants
fungi
protoctists
prokaryotes
bacteria
—
viruses (not living)
ANIMALS
5-10m species
MULTICELLULAR
HETEROTROPHS
REPRODUCTION
PLANTS
~ 300k species
MULTICELLULAR
AUTOTROPHS
FUNGI
~ 75k species
MULTICELLULAR
UNICELLULAR
SAPROTROPHS (heterotrophs)
PATHOGENS
digests food outside of themselves then absorbs it
PROTOCTISTS
protoctists/protoctist/protista
> 28k species
a eukaryotic organism that is neither a plant, animal, or fungi
- EUKARYOTIC (DNA is in the nucleus membrane)
- UNICELLULAR (individual / in colonies)
- HETEROTROPHS
- CHLOROPLASTS
lives in water / moist places
BACTERIA
~ more than every other kingdoms COMBINED
UNICELLULAR
HETEROTROPHS (no chloroplasts)
lives everywhere
can cause disease (eg. salmonella) or be helpful (helps us digest food in intestines)
VIRUSES
not living
can only REPRODUCE inside of LIVING CELLSS
PARASITES
PATHOGENS
dna inside a protein coat
1 million in the width of a fingernail
heterotrophs
gets their energy from other organisms
reproduction
most animals reproduce sexually
autotrophs
gets energy from the sun (photosynthesis)
saprotrophs
feed using sprite optic nutrition
- secrete (“spit”) digestive enzymes onto food outside of their body
- breaks down food
- absorb all nutrients
chloroplasts
where photosynthesis takes place
parasites
depend on other organisms to grow and preproduce
pathogens
ALWAYS cause harm to other organisms to reproduce
