| Monotremes | mammals that lay egg but still nurse young |
| Protist Kingdom | The odd balls that can’t be classified into any other kingdom because they share some similarities with fungi, plants and animals |
| Amoeba PROTIST | Pseudopodia locomotion (fake cytoplasm feet) |
| Euglena PROTIST | Flagellum locomotion (tail) |
| Paramecium PROTIST | Cilia locomotion (fluid hairs) |
| Fungi Kingdom | Unicellular or Multicellular Eukaryotes with protective Cell Wall
Decomposers
Sexual or Asexual reproduction
Some are good (help plants absorb nutrients, nutritious, medicinal)
Some are bad (cause illness and famine) |
| Types of Fungi | Yeast (only unicellular fungus)
-Penicillium
-Helped Alexander Fleming produce the first antibiotic Penicillin which treats a very wide range of bacterial infections
-Mushrooms
-Mold |
| Plant Kingdom | Multicellular Eukaryotes
Rectangular-shaped plant cells have a Cell Wall and a huge Vacuole to store water and nutrients in case of drought or no sunlight for photosynthesis since they can’t move to find it
Autotrophs & Some Heterotrophs
Sexual or Asexual reproduction
Terrestrial land plants have flowers, seeds and pollen to reproduce sexually |
| Stomata are | pores on the underside of leaves that only open during daylight to take in CO2 for photosynthesis and release O2 and will remain closed otherwise in order to avoid water loss |
| Non-Vascular Plants | Simple, short plants that lack stems with vascular tissues, true roots and leaves |
| Vascular Plants | Tissues in Stem that transports water and nutrients
Some are seedless (Ex: Ferns) |
| Some vascular plants have seeds such as | Gymnosperms
Angiosperms |
| Gymnosperms | Seeds are in cones
EX: Conifers |
| Angiosperms | Flowering plants with seeds in nuts or fruit
2 Types: Monocots & Dicots |
| Simple with one cotyledon
(seed leaf)
Leaf veins run parallel
Fibrous roots
Petals in multiples of 3 if present | Monocots |
| 2 cotyledons (seed leaves)
Leaf veins branch out
Taproots
Petals in multiples of 4 or 5 | Dicots |
| Flower Parts
Stamen | male reproductive parts that carry pollen sperm |
| Flower parts
Ovary | female reproductive part |
| Animal Kingdom | Multicellular Eukaryotes in Domain Eukarya
Heterotrophs or Decomposers
Asexual or Sexual reproduction
Circular-shaped cells that DO NOT have cell wall and have much smaller Vacuoles compared to Plant cells |
| Hermaphrodites | animals that have both male and female reproductive organs |
| Examples of Hermaphrodites | Banana slugs self-fertilize
Earthworms still reproduce sexually because only one of the reproductive organs is viable at a time
Clownfish are born male but turn female when the hierarchal female in their school dies because there can be only one female in their school |
| Mimicry | Males pretend to be females so they don’t have to compete with other males
Body confusion |
| Animal Groups
Sponges | True |
| Stinging Marine Animals | anemones, corals, jellyfish, etc. |
| Worms (ANIMALS) | earthworms, roundworms, flatworms, etc. |
| Molluscs (ANIMALS) | clams, snails, octopus, squid, etc.; many have shells |
| Arthropods (ANIMALS) | segmented bodies with joints and exoskeleton made of chitin like arachnids, crustaceans, etc. |
| Prickly Marine Animals (ANIMALS) | starfish, sea urchins, etc. |
| Vertebrates - | fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals with a vertebrae backbone |
| Fish V | cold-blooded cartilaginous fish like sharks and rays or boney fish like most other fishes |
| Amphibians V | cold-blooded ectotherms with wet porous skin |
| Reptiles V | cold-blooded ectotherms with dry, protective skin |
| Birds V | warm-blooded endotherms with feathered wings |
| Mammals - V | warm-blooded endotherms with mammary glands to nurse young |
| Marsupials
Ex: koalas, kangaroos opossums, etc. | born undeveloped and finish development in pouches |
| Monotremes | mammals that lay egg but still nurse young |
