Document Summary
Biological diversity diversity: variety and differences within and among living species life, growth. 3: adaptation: highly adaptable reproduction: uses hosts functional activity: no (don"t respond to stimuli, don"t have own metabolism domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species. 6 kingdoms: used to be 5, groups together all forms of life having certain fundamental characteristics in common, plants, animals, fungi, protista, bacteria, archaea species, group of individuals that regularly breed together. Bacteria: single-celled, no membrane bound organelles, form colonies/filaments, cell wall contains peptidoglycan, some can make own food, diverse lifestyles. Archaea: single-celled, no membrane bound organelles, cell wall lacks peptidoglycan, similar to eukarya in genome organization, many live in extreme environments, extremely adaptable. Protists: single-celled, diverse lifestyles, plant-like, ciliates (hair-like, flagellates (long tail, amoebas (pseudopodia, fungus-like, animal-like, diatoms (glas shell, brown algae (multicellular, green algae (uni, multicellular)66. Plants: multicellular, make own food, largely stationary.
