Eukaryotes
Animals
- Animals do not have a cell wall
- Animals get their energy from eating/ consuming other living organisms
- Animals are capable of moving at some point during their life
- Two different types of animals, vertebrae and invertebrae. Vertebrae are animals that have a backbone, ex. furry mammal. Invertebrae are things like insects or jellyfish!
- There is such a diverse amount of animals, ranging from spiders, worms, dogs, fish, reptiles, birds, octopuses, arthropods(insects), starfish, and so much more!
- An example of animal that is important to human life is a worm. Those little guys help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil. When they eat, the food they consume and then leave behind, helps to create good soil to grow food for us humans.
Protists
- Protists can be sexual or asexual
- Some eat other cells, some go through photosynthesis, and some absorb organic molecules around them
- Most of protists are unicellular
- Protists are incredibly diverse and the GOOD ones can range from algae, slime molds, diatoms. These are helpful for human life.
- Some of the bad protists consist of red tides, pathogens, malaria, and trypanasoma.
- An example of a good protist that helps humans is diatoms. Diatoms are found in toothpaste and toothpaste is what we use to clean our teeth and get rid of bacteria in our mouths!
Fungi
- Fungi absorb nutrients from the environment- this is usually after releasing enzymes to digest the materials.
- Their reproductive structures are temporary
- Their main body is beneath the soil or inside a piece of rotten decaying wood.
- Some useful fungi consists of penicillium. Fungi competes with bacteria for their food and so they produce antibiotics. the one that comes from penicillium is penicillin! This is beneficial to humans, it helps to help the body to recover from a bacterial infection.
- Fungi are decomposers, which means they feed on dead organic matter and help to clean up an ecosystem.
- Fungi can range from good to bad and usually grows underneath the ground all together like mushrooms which is a type of fungi.
Plants
- Some main characteristics include: plants use photosynthesis, they have multicellular embryos, and there are alterations to generations. Only plants combine all three of these key traits.
- There is a variety of plants, but two major groups. Vascular and nonvascular.
- Other plants grow and reproduce from seeds and pollen. Pollen carries sperm producing cells and is carried through wind or pollinators, and seeds are just plants embryos that grow.
- Vascular plants require a moist environment to reproduce, so they go between aquatic and terrestrial life. Nonvascular plants can colonize dry places, because of their vascular tissue that can carry water from the roots to the leaves.
- One of the most important plant life to humans, are trees. Trees help produce oxygen, and are actually critical to the survival of humans.
