What is

Photosynthesis
Green plants absorb light energy
using chlorophyll in their leaves.
They use it to react carbon dioxide
with water to make a sugar called
glucose. The glucose is used in
respiration, or converted into starch
and stored. Oxygen is produced as
a by-product. This process is called
photosynthesis.
 What is Prokaryote?
A prokaryote is a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus
(karyon), mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle. The word
prokaryote comes from the Greek (pro) "before" and (karyon) "nut or
kernel"
Prokaryotes can be divided into two
domains: Archaea and Bacteria
Archaea: meaning they have no cell nucleus or any other
membrane-bound organelles in their cells.

Bacteria : singular bacterium, any of a group of microscopic

single-celled organisms that live in enormous numbers in almost
every environment on Earth, from deep-sea vents to deep
below Earths surface to the digestive tracts of humans.
* Bacteria lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other internal
structures and are therefore ranked among the unicellular life-
forms called prokaryotes.
 What is Eukaryote?
A eukaryote is any organism whose cells have a cell nucleus and other
organelles enclosed within membranes.
Examples of Eukaryotes.
The Protists. Protists are one-celled eukaryotes.
The Fungi. Fungi can have one cell or many cells. ...
The Plants. All of the roughly 250,000 species of plants -- from simple mosses to complex
flowering plants -- belong to the eukaryotes. ...
The Animals.
 KINGDOM ANIMALIA: General Characteristics of Animals
Characteristics of Life
Living things are organized.
Living things are made up of cells.
Living things metabolize.
Living things maintain an internal environment.
Living things grow.
Living things respond.
Living things reproduce.
Living things evolve.
Seven Levels of Taxonomic Classification

o Kingdom
o Phylum
o Class
o Order
o Family
o Genus
o Species
Kingdom Animalia Characteristics

All animals are multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs they have multiple

cells with mitochondria and they rely on other organisms for their
nourishment.
Adult animals develop from embryos: small masses of unspecialized cells
Simple animals can regenerate or grow back missing parts
Most animals ingest their food and then digest it in some kind of internal
cavity.
Somewhere around 9 or 10 million species of animals inhabit the earth.
About 800,000 species have been identified.
Animal Phyla- Biologists recognize about 36 separate phyla within the
Kingdom Animalia.
 Animal Reproduction
Most animals reproduce sexually, by means of differentiated haploid cells (eggs
and sperm).
Most animals are diploid, meaning that the cells of adults contain two copies of
the genetic material.

Animal Bodies
The bodies of most animals (all except sponges) are made up of cells organized into tissues.
Each tissue is specialized to perform specific functions.
In most animals, tissues are organized into even more specialized organs.
Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form organ systems. This is how an
organism develops.
These cells have to differentiate and become specialized in various ways.
Cell Structure: The nucleus, nucleolus, ribosomes, smooth ER, rough ER, nuclear membrane,
Golgi bodies, lysosomes, mitochondria, centrioles, cytoskeltelton, vacuoles.
