UNIT 4: MONERA, PROTOCTISTS, FUNGI AND PLANTS

THE MONERA KINGDOM

The Monera kingdom contains unicellular prokaryotic organisms. Ex: Bacteria

Nutrition: autotrophic or heterotrophic. Saprophytes, parasites, symbionts. Reproduction: Asexual, cell division. Types of bacteria:

Coccus: Spherical Bacillus: Elongated Vibrio: Curved Spirillum: Spiral

Vibrio

THE PROTOCTIST KINGDOM

Prtoctists are unicellular and multicellular organisms. They are eukaryotes and never form tissues.

Types: Protozoa: They are heterotrophs. Ex:

Amoebae Algae: They are autotrophs and perform

photosynthesis.

ACTIVITIES

1.Draw the different types of bacteria.2.The bacteria that live in our digestive system

help us digest food and produce vitamins. Are they parasites, saprophytes or symbionts?

3. The bacteria that live inside the root of leguminous plants are:a)Parasitesb)Symbiontsc)Autotrophs

4. Complete the following sentence:

Cells of Protoctist kingdom are_____________ and cells of Monera kingdom are_____________ which means they don’t have ______________.

5.Complete the following sentence:

Algae are____________ beacuse they make photosynthesis. Their cells have_______________ like the plants.

THE FUNGI KINGDOM

Fungi are unicellular or multicellular organisms. They are eukaryotes and the have cellular wall. They dont’ form tissues. They are heterotrophs. Ex: Mould, yeast and mushroom. Nutrition: Saprophytes,Parasites, Symbionts. Reproduction: They produce cells called spores. Interaction: They live in the soil, in dark places.

THE PLANT KINGDOM Plants are eukaryotic multicellular organisms. They make photosynthesis. They are autotrophs. They have sexual and asexual reproduction. They live in the soil and can’t move. Classification of plants:

Plants with seeds: Gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Plants without seeds: They don’t have flowers.
