Transcript Kingdom Eubacteria

Objective
• SWBAT describe characteristics of organisms
in kingdom Eubacteria.
Kingdom Eubacteria
• Eubacteria are single-celled.
– Unicellular
• Eubacteria are prokaryotes.
– Their cell does not have a nucleus.
• Some are autotrophs; some are heterotrophs.
• Eubacteria everywhere – except the extreme
places archaebacteria live.
Check For Understanding
• What is an autotroph?
A. A car.
B. An organism that gets energy from eating
other organisms.
C. An organism that gets energy from
decomposing other organisms.
D. An organism that produces its own energy.
Cyanobacteria
Escherichia Coli (E. Coli)
Salmonella
What are two things you see in this diagram
that let you know this organism could be in
kingdom Eubacteria?
Check For Understanding
• Which statement below correctly describes
something Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
have in common?
A. They are both unicellular.
B. They are both eukaryotic.
C. Neither of them have DNA.
D. They both live in extreme environments.
Types of Eubacteria
• Eubacteria are classified according to how
they get energy.
– Consumers eat other bacteria
– Decomposers break down big organisms and get
their energy.
– Producers make energy from sunlight.
• Cyanobacteria have chlorophyll – they get
energy from sunlight, like plants.
Check For Understanding
• Which of the following is NOT true of
Eubacteria?
A. They are made of one cell.
B. They live everywhere but are too small to
see.
C. They have a nucleus.
D. They can be autotrophs or heterotrophs.
Eubacteria
• Cell number: Unicellular (one cell)
• Cell type: Prokaryotic (no nucleus)
• How does it get energy?: Autotrophs and
heterotrophs
• Key attributes: Live everywhere.
• Examples: Cyanobacteria, E. coli, Salmonella
