4 Kingdoms of Eukarya

How large are Animals?

All animals are multicellular. They are composed of tissues, and organs, and organ systems

How large are Plants?

All plants are multicellular. They are composed of tissues and organs (roots, stems and leaves)

How do animals reproduce?

Animals reproduce sexually. There must be a mom and dad to create offspring. The offspring will get half the DNA from dad and half the DNA from mom.

Protists are further classified by how they move

Euglena- move with Flagella (whip like tail) Paramecium- move with Cilia (little tiny hairs around the protist) Amoeba- move with Pseudopod (foot like extension)

Characteristics of K. Animalia

Eukaryote Multicellular Have cell walls made of a compound called Cellulose All plants are autotrophs- specifically phototrophs Plants reproduce sexually. The offspring starts in a seed. Some can form a new plant when they break = asexual reproduction Other interesting facts: Carnivorous plants are still autotrophs. They use the trapped food as source of minerals (which is usually done by the roots).

K. Protista have the following characteristics

Eukaryote Unicellular Some have cell walls, others do not Some protists are autotrophs, others are heterotrophs and some can be both! Reproduce Asexually- some only need an hour to make offspring Other interesting facts: Protists are often called the junk yard kingdom because they is so much variety. Protists are further classified by how they move: 1- flagella = whip like tale. Example is a euglena 2- Cilia= tiny oar like hairs. Example is a paramecium 3- Pseudopod = false food. Cytoplasm gushes around. Example is an amoeba

What type of cell does K Protista have?

Eukaryote (Cell HAS a nucleus)

K. Animalia have the following characteristics:

Eukaryote- Multicellular No cell walls- most have some form of skeleton instead All animals are heterotrophs Animals reproduce sexually. Other interesting facts: Humans are classified as K. Animalia

K. Fungi have the following characteristics

Eukaryote- but one cell can have many nuclei so the cells are called hyphae Most are multicellular but there are a few that are unicellular for example Yeast. They do have cell walls made of a compound called chitin Fungi are heterotrophs that digest their food outside their body and then absorb the nutrients. Most fungi are decomposers Have the ability to reproduce asexually by breaking and forming a new fungi or sexually by spores Other interesting facts: Fungi move by spreading spores and hoping a spore lands on a new food source Some fungi are parasites - meaning they harm the organism they grow on Examples: Mold (multicellular), Mushrooms (multicellular), Yeast (unicellular).

What type of cells do animals have?

Eukaryotic - Their cells have a nucleus.

What type of cells does K. Fungi have?

Eukaryotic - Their cells have a nucleus. A weird thing about fungal cells is that they all kind of blend into one big cell...called hyphae This makes it so there are numerous nuclei within one cell

What type of cells do plants have?

Eukaryotic - Their cells have a nucleus. They also have a huge water vacuole to store water for in between rains. Plant cells are easily recognized by the many chloroplast found within them.

Do Fungi have cell walls?

Fungal cells do have a cell wall. The compound found in their cell walls is Chitin (pronounced Kite- en)

How do Fungi reproduce?

Fungi reproduce both asexually and sexually.

How do animals get their energy?

Heterotrophs: All animals must eat other organisms to survive.

How do protists reproduce?

MOST reproduce asexually but there are some that reproduce sexually.

How large are the cells?

Most fungi are multicellular, however yeast are classified as fungi and they are unicellular.

Do animal have have cell walls?

No cell walls. Most animals have a either an endo or exo skeleton to support their frame.

What are the four Kingdoms of Eukarya?

Plantae, Animalia, Protista, Fungi

How do Plants get their energy?

Plants are autotrophs and use the energy from sunlight

How do Plants reproduce?

Plants reproduce sexually. The flower or cone are used to attract pollinators. The pollinators will bring pollen to the egg creating a seed. Seeds are dispersed and an hopefully germinate to create a new plant.

How big is a protist?

Protists are mostly unicellular, which means they are only made up of ONE cell

Do Protists have a cell wall?

Some Yes- plant-like ones and the fungi-like ones Some NO such as the animal-like protists

How do Protists get their energy?

There are some Autotrophs (algae), some heterotrophs (Paramecium and Amoeba) and some that are both (Euglena)

Do Plants have cell walls?

Yes. The compound that makes the cell wall for plants is called cellulose.

How do Fungi get their energy?

they are HETEROTROPHS
