Monera Kingdom
By: Eric Valchuis and Devin O’Rourke
Introduction
•
•
•
•
Monerans are bacteria
Are divided into two kingdoms
Monerans have the same lifecycle as humans
Prokaryotic cells
– No membrane bound organelles
• The are the oldest organisms in the world
• The most abundant organisms on earth
Structure
Similarities in Structures
• All have ribosome's
•One chromosome made out of DNA
•Has a cell wall
•Some genes are kept on plasmid
•Plasma membrane
Differences in Structures
•Shapes
•Have starch granules that store food
•
Some have cell walls and lipids in membrane and others don’t
•
Some have different structures and functions
•Have sheaths that allow them to stick together
•Bacteria often has flagella which allows them to
move
• Heterotrophic Monera

Organic Material
Living organisms
Dead organisms or organic waste
Cant convert food into organic material
Feeding
•Photosynthetic Monera
•Have chlorophyll that converts light energy into food
•Chemosynthenic Monera
•Beak down energy found in inorganic compounds (sulfur and nitrogen)
Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Heterocysts, which aid in asexual reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Major Phyla & Species
The Monerans are divided into two kingdoms
- Eubacteria
Eubacteria
•Actinobacteria
•Blue green alge
•Grass green Bacteria
- Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria
–Methanogens
Produce methane

Help break down food in the intestines of
animals

•Onmibacteria
–Halophiles
•Spirochaetes

Live only in bodies of concentrated salt water
–Thermoacidophiles
Found in hot, acidic waters

Can handle temperatures of 80 degrees c.

Summary
•
•
•
•
Monera are bacteria
Procaryotic cells
Produce asexually and sexually
Two kingdoms
– Eubacteria
– Arachaebacteria
