LS.5 (A,B,C) - Fundamental Concepts and Skills
1. Distinguish characteristics of kingdoms (Bacteria/Protist/Fungi).
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Type of cell structures (prokaryote vs eukaryotes).
Method of metabolism (producer / consumer).
Level of cellular organization (unicellular / Multicellular).
Types of reproduction (asexual / binary fission /sexual).
Means of locomotion (cilia / flagella / pseudopodia)
Reading
p. 222-268
2. Describe the structure and reproductive cycle of viruses.
a) Viruses are tiny, non-living particles.
b) Viruses only reproduce inside a living host.
c) Once inside a host cell, viral DNA takes over, making more viruses and
destroying the host cell.
p.229-235
3.Describe metabolic and structural similarities and differences among
representative organisms in the kingdoms.
a) Archea / Eu - Bacteria (Monera) are unicellular and prokaryotic.
- producers (autotroph) and some are consumers (heterotroph). / Flagella
- Developed adaptation to form an endospore in inhospitable environment.
- They reproduce through Binary Fission and asexual reproduction.
Examples include Cocci, Spirilla, Bacilli.
b) Protista are eukaryotic, uni- or multicellular,
- generally live in moist environments. / sexual or asexual
- Some are autotrophic and some are heterotrophic. / cilia, flagella, pseudopodia
Examples: Plant-like(algae) / Fungi-like(water mold) /Animal-like (Protozoa).
c) Fungi are eukaryotic and uni- and multicellular. They are sessile.
- generally decomposers (consumers), absorbing nutrients through mycelium.
- The body of fungi is made up of cells called hypae. / sexual or asexual
Examples Threadlike, Sac, Club, Imperfect and Lichen.
Assessment: One Unit Test for all 3 Kingdoms. Lab or Activity for each Kingdom.
