2. Note-Taking
• Tip#2:
– Use drawings to illustrate ideas
• Stick figures, simple diagrams,
quick sketches
• Colors
– diff. ink colors or highlighters for
things like word def.'s,
equations, examples & main
topics
• **Icons or symbols to point
out ??'s or !!! important things to
remember
• Note-Taking Methods:
– Cornell Method
– Outlining
– Charting
– Mind Mapping
– Full Sentences
3. Outline Method
• NO SENTENCES!
• Big topics first, then add
supporting points
– Indentation
• main points farthest left
• each lesser point indented
– Abbreviation
• use short phrases
• Abr. words & ill. w/ pics
– Mark levels
• letters, #'s, or Roman
numerals
• bullets, dashes, asterisks

9. Classification: Sorting Life
• Linnaeus grouped living things based on:
– physical characteristics
• body symmetry
• feathers vs. fur vs. scales
– behavior
• makes own food vs. eats others
• lay eggs vs. give birth to live young
– habitat
• lives on land or in water
• We now also group things by:
– cell type
• Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic
• unicellular vs. multicellular
– nutrition (makes food vs. eats)
– DNA (sequence and length)
14. • All living organisms are made up of cells.
– There are two major cell types:
PROKARYOTIC Cells
– Bacteria and archaebacteria
– Tiny
– No nucleus or organelles
EUKARYOTIC Cells
– Plants, animals, fungi and protists
– Have an enclosed nucleus
– Have membrane-bound
organelles
Cell Types
15. Cell Size & Shape
• All cells have:
– a membrane
– cytoplasm
– DNA
16. • Bacteria often have a rigid cell wall and capsule
around the plasma membrane for extra protection.
• Also often have a flagella for movement
Kingdom Monera - Prokaryotic Cells
17. Bacteria
(Kingdom Monera or Eubacteria)
• Single-cell organisms
• "True Bacteria"
– some make us sick
– some help us live
– some make cheese
• Different shapes
– Bacilli (rod-shape)
• E. coli, Lactobacillus acidophilus
– Cocci (round chains/clusters)
• Streptococcus, Staphylococcus
– Spirilla (stringy spirals)
• Campylobacter, Treponema
18. Archaea
(Kingdom Monera or Archaebacteria)
• Tiny, single-cell prokaryotes
• Many live in extreme conditions:
– very hot/cold, deep/dark
– acidic or sulfuric
• DNA & metabolism
different than bacteria

Editor's Notes
How is the text different (all caps, sentence case, smaller writing for lesser points)
How are the levels marked? (indentation, letters & numbers)
Ask students to generate a shopping list, then talk about how you'd go about finding those items. Are all grocery stores grouped the same? Does every item fit into a category?
Then ask each student to name their favorite song. How would you search for each song using Spotify. Why is it helpful to group things?
Now think about how classification systems work - which grouping has the most individual items/songs/living things? Which has the fewest?
The problem is, scientists can't agree, especially as new information is being added all the time.

Philip II was King of Spain from 1556 and of Portugal from 1581. From 1554 he was King of Naples and Sicily as well as Duke of Milan. During his marriage to Queen Mary I, he was also King of England and Ireland.

Originally, Linnaeus established three kingdoms in his scheme, namely for Plants, Animals and an additional group for minerals, which has long since been abandoned. Since then, various life forms have been moved into three new kingdoms: Monera, for prokaryotes (i.e., bacteria); Protista, for protozoans and most algae; and Fungi. This five kingdom scheme is still far from the phylogenetic ideal and has largely been supplanted in modern taxonomic work by a division into three domains: Bacteria and Archaea, which contain the prokaryotes, and Eukaryota, comprising the remaining forms. These arrangements should not be seen as definitive. They are based on the genomes of the organisms; as knowledge on this increases, classifications will change.
What benefits could there be to having distinct organelles separated by membranes? Chemical reactions which interfere with each other can occur at the same time.

There are thousands of species of bacteria, but all of them are basically one of three different shapes. Some are rod- or stick-shaped and called bacilli. Examples of rod-shaped bacteria include E.coli, Salmonella, and Bacillus anthracis which is the bacterium that causes anthrax in cattle. Rod-shaped bacteria include bent or curved rods; so Vibrio is a curved bacillus that causes cholera. Others are shaped like little balls and called cocci. Examples of bacteria with round cells include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Neisseria (causes gonorrhea). Others still are twisted, helical or spiral in shape and called spirilla. These twisted cells can be flexible (Treponema which causes syphilis) or rigid corkscrew shape like Campylobacter (bacterium that causes food-borne illness). Some species of bacteria vary in shape; this is called pleomorphism. Variations and/or lack of rigid cell walls cause microbes like Mycoplasma, Corynebacterium, and Rhizobium to appear swollen, curved, or club-shaped.
Formerly part of the kingdom monera
Microbiologists who study bacteria determined that the DNA of these are much different from other, true bacteria
Most Archaea live in extreme conditions (very hot, acidic/basic, sulfurous, etc)
can live in places where most organisms cannot survive
archae- means ancient: formed about three billion years ago Methanogens and Halobacterium salinarium
rchaea and bacteria are generally similar in size and shape, although a few archaea have very strange shapes, such as the flat and square-shaped cells of Haloquadratum walsbyi.[2] Despite this visual similarity to bacteria, archaea possess genes and several metabolic pathways that are more closely related to those of eukaryotes, notably the enzymes involved in transcription and translation. Other aspects of archaeal biochemistry are unique, such as their reliance on ether lipids in their cell membranes. Archaea use more energy sources than eukaryotes: these range from organic compounds, such as sugars, to ammonia, metal ions or even hydrogen gas. Salt-tolerant archaea (the Haloarchaea) use sunlight as an energy source, and other species of archaea fix carbon; however, unlike plants and cyanobacteria, no known species of archaea does both. Archaea reproduce asexually by binary fission, fragmentation, or budding; unlike bacteria and eukaryotes, no known species forms spores.
All eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic, sessile organisms
Includes: molds, mushrooms, rusts, lichens
Mycorrhizal associations allow plants to absorb more water and nutrients from the soil
All eukaryotic, multicellular, autotrophic, sessile organisms
Produce their own food from sunlight and carbon dioxide
Common Phyla:
Bryophyta (mosses)
Pteridophyta (ferns)
Coniferophyta (conifers, like pine trees)
Angiospermophyta (angiosperms, like flowering plants
Before 1970, taxonomists classified all forms of life into two kingdoms: Animalia and Plantae. Bacteria, fungi, and photosynthetic protists were considered plants, and the protozoa were classified as animals. In 1969, Robort H. Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom classification scheme that is widely used today, and which we follow in this text.
Whittaker identified two kingdoms of primarily unicellular microorganisms based on whether they showed prokaryotic or eukaryotic cellular organization. The kingdom Monera consists of generally single prokaryotic cells, whereas the kingdom Protista consists of generally single eukaryotic cells. All of the organisms in the remaining three kingdoms (Plantae, Fungi and Animalia) are eukaryotic, and most of them are multicellular. They may be classified further on the basis of their way of acquiring nutrients. Members of the kingdom Plantae photosynthesize, and members of the kingdom Fungi secrete enzymes outside their bodies and then absorb the externally digested nutrients. In contrast, members of the kingdom Animalia ingest their food and then digest it, either within an internal cavity or within individual cells.
Recently, a sixth kingdom has been proposed. Many microbiologists argue that the cell structure of the Archaea is so different from that of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that they should occupy their own kingdom. Following the fashion, this text adopts the updated six-kingdom classification system (Fig. 1.1).
