Bacteria:Classification and Structure

What are the 6 Kingdoms?ArchaebacteriaEubacteriaProtistsFungiPlantsAnimals

We are looking at the first twoArchaebacteriaEubacteria

Classification of BacteriaArchaebacteria: extremistsEubacteria: HeterotrophsPhotosynthetic autotrophsChemosynthetic autotrophs

ArchaebacteriaLive in extreme locations:Oxygen-free environmentsConcentrated salt-waterHot, acidic water

Eubacteria - HeterotrophsFound everywhereParasites: live off of other organismsSaprobes: live off of dead organisms or waste (recyclers)

Eubacteria: Photosynthetic AutotrophsPhotosynthetic: make their own food from lightCyanobacteria: blue-green, yellow, or redponds, streams, moist areas

Eubacteria: Chemosynthetic AutotrophsGet energy by breaking down inorganic substances like sulfur and nitrogenMake nitrogen in the air usable for plants {Very Important}
