Q

Describe fungi

A

-The yeast are unicellular the rest are multi cellular
-They’re heterotrophic: like animalia.
-Cells surrounded by a wall of chiton, a modified cellulose.

Q

plantae

A

-autotrophic.
-cell walls
-can be vascular which has phloem vessels
- or non vascular, which doesn’t have real roots, stems and veins in leaves. -they Photosynthesise
-they pollinate

Q

Why is monera outdated?

A

Because bacteria can be parasites, and pathogens, which means they photosynthesise and pass on diseases.

However, archaea are symbiotic or nitrogen-fixed organisms. they don’t photosynthesise and pass on diseases.

    membrane-bound organelles
  • Includes: Pathogens and good
    bacteria, photosynthetic
    bacteria containing green and
    blue pigment (chlorophyll and

Q

Archaea

A

-No nucleus and no
membrane-bound organelles
- They can withstand extreme
temperatures and pressures or
metabolise chemicals such as
sulphur, methane , chlorine or
flourine.
- Cell wall composition = mostly
