Monera, Protoctista and Fungi Kingdom Characteristics
- 2. The Monera Kingdom The Monera Kingdom contains mostly ________bacteria ● unicellular ● haven't got a nucleus ● found on land, in water, air and inside other living organisms ● you need a microscope to see them ● they reproduce very quickly
- 3. bacteria and humans ● bacteria are small, powerful, and can survive extreme conditions ● bacteria are infectious agents o reproduce quickly o spread diseases o can contaminate food ● some bacteria is good! o like bacteria in our stomach
- 4. ??????? ● bacteria are unicellular or multicellular ● bacteria are prokaryotic or eukaryotic ● bacteria can be found in... a. air b. water c. other living organisms d. all of the above ● True or False? Bacteria can be seen by the naked eye? False, you need a microscope! ● three characteristics of bacteria? ● True or False? bacteria are infectious agents. ● Are all forms of bacteria bad for us? Explain. Small, Simple, Powerful, adaptable etc... True! No! Some bacteria is good for us. We need bacteria in our stomachs to digest food and to use as antibiotics to cure us from diseases. Other bacteria purifies water.
- 5. The Protoctista Kingdom ● contains unicellular and multicellular organisms ● they live in water or humid earth or other organisms ● examples: o protozoa o algae
- 6. protozoa ● Unicellular ● Heterotrophic ● have a nucleus ● very diverse, can be many different shapes ● can cause serious diseases like malaria ● they are useful ● they are used to eat harmful bacteria found in our sewage plants
- 7. Algae ● put oxygen into the air ● Is used in medicines ● can be eaten and used in food production ● Found in water and sometimes rocks and trees ● UNICELLULAR ALGAE o found in lakes and rivers o has a flagella to move around ● MULTICELLULAR ALGAE o seaweed and kelp o form in forests and oceans to provide shelte Algae can sometimes reproduce too much
- 8. ?????????? ● Where can you find organisms from the protoctista kingdom? a. water b. rocks c. both A and B d. airplanes ● Protozoa are unicellular or multicellular BOTH! ● Is algae autotrophic or heterotrophic ● Where can unicellular algae be found? and multicellular? ● Four benefits of algae? Lakes and rivers Forests and oceans 1. Provide oxygen 2. Used in medicine 3. Used in food production 4. Animals and humans can eat certain types
- 9. The Fungi Kingdom ● Heterotrophic ● Feeds on other organisms ● Unicellular (yeast) and Multicellular (mold and mushrooms) Yeast ● found in some decaying fruit and the mouths and skin of some animals ● used to make bread and alcoholic drinks Mold ● Grows on damp floors and walls ● Also grows of fruit and bread ● Used to make medicines ● Can be dangerous Mushrooms ● Grow in damp, shady places ● Decomposers ● Some are poisonous ● Some are parasitic
- 10. Lichens and Viruses Lichens ● both fungi and algae ● Heterotrophic ● Can live on rocks, wood, soil, leaves… Viruses ● Somewhere between living and non-living ● Can only be seen using a microscope ● They invade, multiply, and destroy healthy cells
- 11. ?????????? ● Three ways fungi are beneficial ● Which of the following are unicellular? ● Where do lichens grow? 1. Used to make medicine 2. Mushrooms decompose 3. Yeast is used to make bread A. Yeast B. Mold C. Mushrooms Rocks, wood, soil, leaves... ● Are viruses living or non- living? ● True or False. You need a microscope to see viruses. ● are all mushrooms poisonous?
