Document Summary

Example with two organisms: owen the hippopotamus and mzee the tortoise. This is a combination of domain and kingdom levels of organization. We will start with the three basic characteristics given in lecture 1 (prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic, aerobic vs. anaerobic, autotrophic vs. heterotrophic) and add other characteristics where necessary. There are several examples of organisms for each group that are posted on the moodle page with this study guide. You can also google the names of large groups or check the later chapters of your text for more examples of these groups. Cell walls with peptidoglycans (made of sugars and proteins); susceptible to many antibiotics (e. g. streptomycin and chloramphenicol) Prokaryotic cells; anaerobic & aerobic metabolism; heterotrophic & autotrophic feeding. Cell walls lack peptidoglycans (made of proteins and sugars); not susceptible to streptomycin and chloramphenicol; often found in extreme environments. Very diverse eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, fungi or animals. Many single-celled species; mostly aerobic; autotrophic and heterotrophic.
