Eubacteria divided into 2 groups
Gram +’ive
Gram -‘I’ve
Gram +’ive
Single, relatively thick peptidoglycan layer
Retain violet
Gram -‘ive
Relatively thin peptidoglycan sheath surrounded by outer membrane
Do not retain violet (pink)
Domain archaea

; methanogens
Halophiles
High salt
Acidophiles
Low pH levels
Hyperthermophile

Domain eukarya
Have nuclei
Advantages fo membrane-bound organelles

Lipid & protein production
Eukarya kingdoms
- Protista
- Plantae
- Fungi
- Animalia

Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Types of motility (protists)
Pseudopods, cilia, flagella
Charophyta criteria
- Similar structure of motile sperm to land plants with flagellated sperm
- Similar cell wall producing events during cell division
- Presence of sporopollenin in charophyte zygotes and land plant spores
Sporopollenin
Polymer forms a protective barrier (exile) against desiccation in zygotes, spores, and pollen grains
Kingdom plantae
Most land plants are sessile, but gametes may be motile
Plantae divided into 2 groups
- Green algae
2. Land plants (embryophata)
Embryophata
Embryo retained within maternal tissues
Gametophyte generation
Gamete-producing, haploid phase (n=chromosomes)
Sporophyte generation
Spore-forming phase, diploid (chromosomes=2n)
3 main groups of land plants
- Non vascular
- Vascular without seeds
- Vascular with seeds
Non vascular plants
Gametophyte phase dominant
Polytrichium (moss)
Thin cuticles and rudimentary stomata; no true roots to leaves
