Group 1 - Monera, Protista, Fungi



MONERA


- Consists of organisms that are minute and single-celled prokaryotes, or organisms that lack membrane-bound nuclei
- Eg. bacteria, cyanobacteria or blue-green algae (BGA) and spirochetes
- Mode of nutrition is by absorbing food through the cell wall
- Reproduce by simple, asexual cell division (mitosis), where the offspring nearly always bear the exact characterisitcs of the parent cell




PROTISTA

- Protista are unicellular
- They have nucleus and membrane bound Nucleus
- Membrane bound organelles
- Eukaryotes 

FUNGI




-Multi cellular, eukaryotic, non-motile organisms
-No chlorophyll
-Examples are yeast and mushroom
-Obtain nutrients by absorption from dead and decaying organic materials.
-Fungi are not considered plants because fungi contains no chlorophyll.

  2. I have learnt that cyanobacteria and spirochetes are under the Kingdom of Monera.
    I have discovered that the Fungi Kingdom consists of special fungi like luminescent mushrooms.

  3. I learnt from the Monera blog post that members from the Monera kingdom absorb food through their cell wall. This kingdom has two main groups called Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.

  4. Monera:

    I have learnt that reproduce by simple, asexual cell division (mitosis), where the offspring nearly always bear the exact characterisitcs of the parent cell.

    I have discovered that the Monera kingdom includes all bacteria that may infect animals, humans and plants. But most of the members are termed as beneficial bacteria, rather than pathogenic bacteria.

    Protista:

    I have learnt that Protista have membrane bound organelles.

    I have discovered Protista was first observed as primitive unicellular forms of both plants and animals, as observed by scientist John Hogg, in 1860s.

    Fungi:

    I have learnt that Fungi obtain nutrients by absorption from dead and decaying organic materials.

    I have discovered that one major difference between fungal cells and plant cells is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose.

  5. I have learnt that Monera consists of single celled prokaryotes that absorb nutrients through their cell wall, that Protista consists of single celled eukaryotes that have membrane bound organelles and that yeasts are single celled fungi.
    I have discovered that the Kingdom Monera is currently obsolete and has been divided into two separate Kingdoms, Archaea and Bacteria, that some of the Protista have resemblances to the higher kingdoms and that some Fungi have symbiotic relationships with algae, making a lichen.

  6. I have discovered that fungi cell walls are usually are made of chitin.

  7. I learnt that Fungi is a Multi cellular, eukaryotic and a non-motile organisms. It has no chlorophyll. Fungi are not considered plants because fungi contains no chlorophyll.

    I discovered that Fungi can be classified as unicellular and multicellular.

  8. I learnt that organisms under Monera reproduce by simple, asexual cell division (mitosis), where the offspring nearly always bear the exact characterisitcs of the parent cell.

    I discovered that fungi can be classified into two subgroups, unicellular and multicellular.

  9. 1) I have learnt that the offspring from Kingdom Monera nearly always bear the exact characterisitcs of the parent cell.

    2) I have discovered that we breathe in spores every day because there are so many floating around.

  10. 1. I have learnt that organisms in Kingdom Monera are minute and single-celled prokaryotes, they absorb food through the cell wall, and they lack a membrane-bound nuclei too. I have also learnt that organisms in Kingdom Protista unicellular, have a nucleus and are eukaryotic. Lastly, I have learnt that the organisms in Kingdom Fungi are eukaryotic, does not contain chlorophyll and absorbs their nutrients from dead and decaying organic materials.

    2. I have discovered that Kingdom Monera are sometimes known as Kingdom Prokaryota due to the fact that the kingdom included most organisms with a prokaryotic cell organization. I have also discovered that the organisms in Kingdom Protista absorb their food by engulfing their prey, some using a mouth-like structure. Lastly, I have also found out that the cell walls of the organisms in Kingdom Fungi contain Chitin, which is derived from glucose, instead of Cellulose, found in the cell wall of plants.

  11. i learnt that Monera reproduce by simple, asexual cell division called mitosis

    I discovered that difference between plantae & fungi is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose.

  12. Monera:
    I have learnt that monera reproduce by simple, asexual cell division (mitosis), where the offspring nearly always bear the exact characterisitcs of the parent cell.
    I have discovered that monera they have a small ring of DNA as their genetic material.

    Protista:
    I have learnt that membrane bound Nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
    I have discovered that some species of protists exist in multicellular organism.

    Fungi:
    I have learnt that fungi are not considered plants because fungi contains no chlorophyll.
    I have discovered that the living body of the fungus is a mycelium made out of a web of tiny filaments called hyphae.

  13. I have learnt that Organisms classified under Monera are single-celled prokaryotes that lack membrane-bound nuclei. Their mode of nutrition is by absorbing food through the cell wall. They reproduce by simple, asexual cell division (mitosis), where the offspring nearly always bear the exact characterisitcs of the parent cell.
    Organisms classified under Protista are unicellular eukaryotes that have membrane bound nucleus.
    Organisms classified under Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular such as yeast and mushroom respectively. Their mode of nutrition is by feeding on dead or decaying matter.
    I have discovered that Kingdom Monera are sometimes known as Kingdom Prokaryota due to the fact that the kingdom included most organisms with a prokaryotic cell organization.

  14. Fungi:
    I have learned that yeast is an example of unicellular fungi and mushrooms is an example of multicellular fungi.

    I have discovered that fungi have extracellular digestion by secreting enzymes into the environment and absorbing the nutrients produced.

    I have learned that bacteria & blue-green algae are examples of Monera and the offspring has the exact characteristics as the parent cell.

    I discovered that the Monera has a small ring of DNA as their genetic material.
