Classification of Cells
Prokaryote Kingdom: Bacteria
Common Bacterial Structure
Has a cell wall and cell membrane
3 main shapes
Sphere
Rod
spiral
archaea
e. coli bacteria
Prokaryote Kingdom: Archaea
Structurally similar to bacteria
But thrive in harsh conditions:
Temperature: hot springs, ice sheets
Salt pools
pH: acidic water
Oxygen: low

Nutrition
Photosynthesis: involving the sun to make sugar Ingestion: taking in food through an orifice or wrapping membrane around the food
Absorption: taking in substances through the cell membrane (via diffusion or osmosis)

Eukaryote Kingdom Fungi
Example: Multicellular Fungi
Fungi on decomposing melon

mould fungus
Sporangia are
the organs in
which asexual
spores are
produced
