Question

In this assignment, you will summarize the differences between the four Eukaryotic Kingdoms into a table See the note below the table for information regarding "Kingdom Protista, Once you are satisfied with your table, submit it as usual as an attached file. Be sure to include the assignment name and your name on your document. The assignment will be evaluated based on completeness and accuracy. Total value of this assignment is 19 marks You may want to copy and paste the chart below into your Word or Excel document. Your chart must have a fully descriptive title One is not included here as you should create your own Method of Evaluation: Each row for each of the columns in the assignment will be worth 2 marks (2 x 18 = 36 marks) plus 2 marks for your fully descriptive title = 38 marks. This mark will then be divided by 2 for 19 marks in total. Marks will be based upon the completeness of your answers Kingdom Protista can be considered a representation of what a complete answer could look like Kingdom Kingdom Kingdom Kingdom Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia Cell Structure -may be animal-like, plant-like, or fungus-like; some may have flagella constructed differently from the other kingdoms - the cells may have specialized organelles for life processes, eg for osmoregulation (water balance): - cell walls may have compositions that differ from the other Kingdoms Major Mode of Nutrition - may be autotrophic (photosynthetic) producers. - may be heterotrophic consumers with internal digestion (in vacuoles) or simple absorption may have more than one mode depending on environment Cell Number - most are single-celled, but may be multicellular some are colonial aggregates of cells Motility may move by use of cilia or flagella - may have cellular structure that hold air so that they can stay near the surface of water for photosynthetic activity Reproduction - mitosis or binary fission conjugation (exchange of genetic information via micronuclei only NOT considered sexual reproduction) - eg paramecium - may require a host to reproduce - may produce spores and or gametes for sexual reproduction (eg. algae)

Answer 1

1.​​​CELL STRUCTURE:

Plantae:

Cell wall contains cellulose in high quantity.The protoplast contains vacoules, endoplasmic reticulum,plastids,ribosomes, nucleus and mitochondria.

Fungi:

Cell wall is rigid which is made of complex polysaccharides.It is mainly made of chitin and glycans.

Animalia:

Kingdom animalia contain membrane bound nucleus, organelles.They do not have cell wall.

2.​​​​​MODE OF NUTRITION:

​​​​​ Plantae:

Most plants show autotrophic mode of nutrition.Some higher plants are heterotrophic.Some are partial or complete parasites.

Fungi:

Heterotrophic mode of nutrition ( absorbs organic compounds from environment) most fungi are saprophytic.

Animalia:

Heterotrophic mode of nutrition

3.CELL NUMBER:

Plantae:

Multicellular and eukaryotic

Fungi:

Multicellular and eukaryotic

Animalia:

Multicellular and eukaryotic

4.MOTILITY:

Plantae:

Non motile,found attached through substratum

Fungi:

Non motile

Animalia

Motile,move with cilia,flagella,muscular organs made with contractile proteins.

5.REPRODUCTION:

Plantae:

Sexual and asexual reproduction occours through seeds,pollen,spores etc

Asexual reproduction- budding, fragmentation,gemmae,stolon production.

Sexual reproduction- through help of animals, wind ( pollinating agents)

Fungi:

Asexual reproduction: fragmentation,budding producing spores

Animalia:

Sexual reproduction: sperm and eggs (fertilisation)

6.NICHE

Plantae:

Producers: starters of energy

Fungi:

Consumers: decompose organic matter,mineralisation,immobilisation of nutrients

Animalia:

Consumers:involve in various chemical cycles in environment,mobility allows material distribution in environment,make natural community work and stay healthy.

7.SAMPLE ORGANISMS:

Plantae:

Green algae,ferns,mosses,angiosperms like apple.flowering plants like mango.

Fungi:

Yeast,mushroom,molds

Animalia:

Earthworm,whale,lobster
