What are the six kingdoms? |
AnimaliaPlantaeFungiProtistArchaebacteriaEubacteria |
|
Characteristics of Animalia |
Multi-cellular, heterotrophic (has to get own food), eukaryotes, able to move, symmetrical |
|
Characteristics of Plantae |
Autotrophs (can make their own food), cell walls, multi-cellular, eukaryotes, sessile (can't move) |
|
Characteristics of Fungi |
Multi-cellular, eukaryotes, made of hyphae, heterotrophic, sessile, cell wall, decomposers |
|
Characteristics of Protists |
Eukaryotes, mostly uni-cellular but some are multi-cellular like seaweed, heterotrophic and autotrophic |
|
Characteristics of Archaebacteria |
Prokaryote (single celled with no nucleus), uni-cellular, heterotrophic and autotrophic, extremophile (able to thrive under chemical and physical extremes) |
|
Characteristics of Eubacteria |
Some are Aerobic (need oxygen to survive), some are Anaerboic (die if oxygen is present), heterotrophic and autotrophic, decomposers |
|
What do Plasma Membranes do? |
selects what enters or exits the cell in order to maintain homeostatis (equilibrium). Membrane is selectively permeable |
|
Polar Phosphate Heads |
allows cell membrane to interact with water |
|
Non-Polar Fatty Acid Tails |
they avoid water, form interior of membrane |
|
Cholesterol |
helps stabilize by preventing fatty tails from sticking together |
|
Transport Proteins |
move needed substances or waste materials through membrane, also give flexibility |
|
Carbohydrate Chains |
sticks out from cell surface, helps cells to identify chemical signals |
