Traditionally‚ textbooks from the United States used a system of six kingdoms. A fungus (/ˈfʌŋɡəs/; plural: fungi[3] or funguses[4]) is any member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds(British English: moulds)‚ as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom‚ Fungi‚ which is separate from plants‚ animals‚protists‚ and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin‚

freshwater phytoplankton. Some are heterotrophic. Diatoms‚ on the other‚ are a part of a group called stramenopiles. They are unicellular‚ photosynthetic algae with cell walls that contain silica. Dinoflagellates are a diverse group of flagellate eukaryotic microorganisms Dinoflagellates are unicellular‚ free-swimming‚ biflagellate organisms Dinoflagellates have approximately 150 genera and 1500 species. 3.

1. BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION Aristotle’s classification - Aristotle was the earliest to attempt a more scientific basis for classification of organisms. - He classified plants into trees‚ shrubs & herbs and animals into two groups‚ those which had red blood and those that did not. Two-kingdom classification - In Linnaeus’ time Two Kingdom classification (Kingdom Plantae & Kingdom Animalia) was developed. Drawbacks of 2-kingdom classification Prokaryotes (Bacteria‚ cyanobacteria) and eukaryotes

biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing‚ and are often called the "building blocks of life". Discoverer: The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. The cell theory‚ first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden andTheodor Schwann‚ states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ that all cells come from preexisting cells‚ that vital functions of an organism occur within cells‚ and that all cells

a living thing. The first characteristic is that all living things are made of one or more cells. For instance living things are all multi-cellular‚ WE HUMANS‚ are multi-cellular. On the other hand though bacteria are unicellular but it’s also living. Multi-cellular organisms are made of many cells. The cell is the basic unit of life. The second characteristic is all living things display organization. Different parts of a cell are organized to do different jobs. Different parts of a body are

processes. The living world comprises an amazing diversity of living organisms. Early man could easily perceive the difference between inanimate matter and living organisms. Early man deified some of the inanimate matter (wind‚ sea‚ fire etc.) and some among the animals and plants. A common feature of all such forms of inanimate and animate objects was the sense of awe or fear that they evoked. The description of living organisms including human beings began much later in human history. Societies

or not viruses are living organisms. The most confusing thing about viruses is that they display characteristics of both living and nonliving beings (Lourerio‚ 2006). Even after years of research and argument‚ we have not come to a final conclusion to this mind boggling question: Are viruses alive? Viruses are miniscule parasites that spread infection through all species of living things‚ plants and animals. Parasites are completely dependent on other living organisms (Miller & Levine‚ 2008). A

This unit will briefly introduce you to microbiology‚ the study of living things too small to be seen without the aide of a microscope. We will also study some larger organisms which are included in the taxonomic kingdoms covered in this unit. God has created an amazing world around us that is teeming with life that we cannot

It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing (except virus‚ which consists only from DNA/RNA covered by protein and lipids)‚ and is often called the building block of life.
