• STUDY and quiz your self over the
information.
CELLS
Prokaryotic Cells – Single-celled organisms that
do not have membrane-bound internal structures;
no nucleus; simple cells with very little
organization of the materials inside.
EXAMPLE: bacteria
Eukaryotic Cells –cells that have organelles;
contain nucleus; cells with organized structures
EXAMPLES: Protists, Animals, Plants, and Fungi
Cell Parts
Cytoplasm – All cells contain
cytoplasm. It is a clear gel-like fluid
(liquid) which takes up most space inside
the cell, where many cell reactions and
where organelles are located
Nucleus – Only eukaryotic cells have a
nucleus. control center of cell; brain of cell;
usually located near center of cell; controls
cell activity; contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic
acid).
Cell membrane – All cells have a cell
membrane. It is the protective barrier of the
cell that holds it together. It lets good
material in and bad material out.
Cell Wall – stiff outer barrier of a plant cell,
outside of the cell membrane, mostly made
up of cellulose, provides extra support and
gives it shape; surrounds cells of plants,
fungi, and bacteria
DOMAINS
The Three Domains of Life
The 3 Domains of Life
Domains are the first and the broadest
of classifications.
• One domain is Archea, which is composed of the organisms
in the Kingdom Archeabacteria.
• Bacteria is the second prokaryotic domain and is also
composed of single
kingdom Eubacteria.
• The third domain, Eukarya,
contains all four of the
eukaryotic kingdoms:
Animalia (animals),
Fungi (fungi), Plantae
(plants), and Protista (protists).
KINGDOMS
The 6 Kingdoms of Life
The Kingdoms of Life
• Biologists have further classified living things
into six groups called Kingdoms.
• Biologists group organisms into six Kingdoms
based on the following:
– Cell Type
• Organisms are either prokaryotes or eukaryotes.
– Cell Number
• Organisms are either unicellular or multicellular.
– Nutrition
• Organisms are either autotrophs or heterotrophs.
Kingdom – a system used to classify and
organize different organisms found on Earth
into groups

Archeabacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
• Contains all of Domain
Archae.
• Archaebacteria are
prokaryotes that live in
very harsh conditions.
Kingdom Eubacteria
• Contains all of Domain Bacteria.
• Bacteria are prokaryotes and have no
internal nucleus.
• Bacteria are found in
practically every
environment on Earth.
• Single or multi-celled organisms
• Reproduce by spores
• Heterotrophs that eat dead or living organisms decomposer
• Yeasts, molds, mushrooms

•
multi-cellular organisms
surrounded by a cell wall
make their own food (photosynthesis)
Eukaryotes
Mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants
Flowering plants produce seeds in flowers; conifers
make seeds in cones; mosses and ferns reproduce by
spores
• multi-cellular organisms
• eukaryotes
• get energy from other organisms (omnivores)
• mostly single-celled organisms
• eukaryotes
• Some feed on other organisms; ex. Amoeba and
paramecium (heterotroph)
• Some make their own food (photosynthesis); ex.
Euglena and algae (autotroph)
