Bacteria have been on the planet for over 3.5 billion years |
These include: -prokaryotes (no nucleus): only unicellular and lack membrane bound organelles -eukaryoyes (true nucleus): can be uni or multicellular and contain membrane bound organelles |
|
|
Bacteria |
-prokaryotes -peptidoglycan cell walls -binary fission -use organic, inorganic, or photosynthesis for energy |
|
|
Archaea |
-prokaryotic -lack peptidoglycan wall -extremeophiles |
|
|
Protozoa |
-eukaryotes -eat organic chemicals -can move around using cilia, flagella, or pseudopods |
|
|
Algae |
-eukaryotes -cell wall (cellulose) -produce oxygen and other organic compounds |
|
|
Viruses |
-acellular -consist of DNA or RNA core that is surrounded by a protein coat -coat may be enclosed in lipid envelope -only replicated by via living cell host |
|
|
Multicellular Animal Parasites |
-eukaryotes -multicellular animals -parasitic/flatworms call helminths -microscopic stages in lifecycle |
