or
Heterotroph
Cell Wall
Present – Yes
or No (made
of)
Other Defining Characteristics
Prokaryotic
Unicellular
Both
Yes, but does
not contain
peptidoglycan
•Live in extreme environments
•None cause human disease
•Methanogens: live in intestinal
tracts of humans & cows
•Halophiles : live in Great Salt
Lake, Dead Sea
•Thermophiles: hydrothermal and
volcanic vents.
Bacillus infernus lives in deep sea vents in the
ocean – obtains energy from Earth’s heat

Cell Wall Present –
Yes or No (made of)
Eukaryotic
Most are
unicellular
Some algae
are
multicellular
Both
Plant-like have cell
wall
Fungus-like have
cell walls
Animal-like do not
have cell walls
Other Defining
Characteristics
•Grouped by how they get
food
•Some can move:
•Pseudopods:
cytoplasmic projections
•Cilia: hair like structures
that surround cell
•Flagella: whip-like
structures
