The document discusses different types of photosynthesis pathways used by plants. C4 plants and CAM plants have additional carbon fixation pathways before carbon enters the Calvin cycle that help increase photosynthetic efficiency compared to C3 plants which directly incorporate carbon dioxide into the Calvin cycle.
The document summarizes different kingdoms of protists. It discusses characteristics of specific protist groups like Diplomonidida, Euglenozoa, Alveolata, Apicomplexa, Ciliates, Diatoms, Red Algae, Green Algae, Brown Algae, and Slime Molds. It provides details on how they move, reproduce, where they live, and what they eat. The document also mentions some examples of protists and practical uses of algae.
This document discusses the three domain system of classifying life - Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. It describes the key characteristics of prokaryotes, including their unicellular nature, lack of organelles, and cell structures like cell walls. Archaea are introduced as extremophiles that thrive in harsh environments. Bacteria are classified as gram-positive or gram-negative. The evolution of eukaryotes from prokaryotes is discussed. The kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are also introduced along with their defining characteristics. Fungi are described as important decomposers and their structures like hyphae and role in symbiotic relationships are
