Archaebacteria 

-single-celled microorganism; don’t have a nucleus.

-very similar to Eubacteria but they belong to different domains (bacteria-domain bacteria, Archaebacteria- Archea) Archea have a membrane which is more stable than bacteria’s, and it helps archaea to survive at extreme temperature (e.g: volcano) and p.h environment

Nanoarchaeum equitans

  • a type of marine archaea
  • known as the smallest known archaeon
  • discovered in 2002

Lokiarchaeota

  • host of the interaction at the origin of mitochondria
  • Not much information is discovered about it

Eubacteria

  • prokaryotic
  • commonly found in human daily life than Archaebacteria
  • causing diseases
  • lack mitochondrions or chloroplasts
  • have a rigid cell wall made of peptidoglycan
  • undergo asexual binary fission when reproducing

Blue-green bacteria (Cyanobacteria)

  • important to aquatic communities (they provide oxygen)
  • obtain their energy through photosynthesis
  • have internal membrane

Spirochaetae

  • a flexible spirally twisted bacterium
  • causes syphilis

Protista

  • can sexually/asexually reproduce
  • most of them are unicellular
  • includes organisms as algae, slime, molds, and protozoa.
  • include both autotrophic and heterotrophic forms.

marimo (Aegagropila linnaei)

  • also known as a mossball
  • usually found on the shady side of rocks or in lakes
  • takes almost a century to grow in a size of a baseball

Wakame(Undaria pinnatifida)

 

  • good for health (fucoxanthin helps to burn the fat cells)
  • lots of nutrients
  •  Seaweed has been classified as a plant in the past, but genetic testing has shown that the appearance of a seaweed plant is an extrovertive trait that has developed apart from the plant.

[Fungi]

  • include mushrooms, yeasts, molds, rusts, smuts, puffballs, truffles, morels, and molds
  •  live everywhere in the air, in water, on land, in soil, and on or in plants and animals
  • appear like plants but are closely related to animals
  • eukaryotic
  • grows on dead leaves and roots in grasslands
  • produce rings of fruiting bodies or mushrooms

Basidiomycetes

  • cause diseases in animals and also humans
  • obtain nutrition by decaying dead organic matter
  • Basidiomycota play a significant role in the carbon cycle
  • some Basidiomycota produce deadly toxins

Microsporidia

  • caused diseases (Enterocytozoon, Encephalitozoon, Nosema, Pleistophora, Trachipleistophora, Vittaforma, Brachiola)
  • spore-forming organism
  • found in patients with infected immune system such as HIV
  • beside that, it is important parasites in fisheries,veterinary medicines and pest management

Plantae

  • mainly multicellular
  • Eukaryotics
  •  autotrophic mode of nutrition.
  • sexual reproduction
  • most of them synthesis their own food with the help of solar energy (photosynthesize)

Daffodil (Narcissus poeticus)

  • change the juice of daffodils and use it to treat swelling.
  •  native to Korea, China, Japan and the Mediterranean Sea.
  • can grow in the winter

Sunflower  Helianthus)

  • can obtain seeds / oil
  • can grow to the height of 300cm
  • always face the sun when they are still growing, but stop when they begin blooming

Animalia.

  • Multicellular organism
  • no cell wall
  • Eukaryotic cells
  • higher level of tissue organization
  • sexual reproduction
  • has to obtain nutrients from another species

Red panda

  • also known as lesser panda
  • classified as endangered
  • although it is called a panda, it is not closely related to the giant panda
  • has a very long tail. (bigger than the body)
  • lives in temperate forests
  • solitary except during mating season

Black mamba

  • native to Africa
  • longest species of snakes ; the largest Black mamba reported was 4.5m (14.8ft)
  • unpredictable behavior
  • black mamba venom can poison a mouse in 4.5 minutes (extremly toxic)
  • known as the most dangerous animal in Africa – Black mamba’s bite is called “kiss of death”
