CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING BEINGS
Introduction :

...


Demerits of Two Kingdom 1
...
No difference in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
...
Heterotrophic Fungi kept in Plantae
...
Five kingdom system is given by R
...
Monera,
Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia
...
Prokaryotic unicellular organisms
...
Most abundant
...
Also live in extreme habitats viz
...
as endoparasite
etc
...
eg
...

- Some bacteria are autotrophic others are heterotrophic
...

- Live in most harsh habitats eg
...

- Methanogens are found in the gut of ruminants and produce methane
(CH4) gas
...

- Rigid cellwall with or without flagellum
...

- Cyanobacteria are Photosynthetic autotrophs, unicellular, colonial or
filamentous, with gelatinous sheath
...
Nostoc, Anabaena, Oscillatoria,
Rivularia, Gloeotrichia etc
...


-Reproduction occurs by fission
...


Mycoplasma –
- Smallest unicellular anaerobic organisms having no cellwall
...


Kingdom Protista –
-

Unicellular eukaryotes
...

Some have cilia and flagella
...


Crysophytes –
- Fresh water or marine microscopic Planktons
...
Diatomsand
Golden algae (Desmids)
...

- Diatomaceous earth is formed by cellwall deposits of Diatoms and used
in polishing, filtration of oils and syrups, fire bricks and explosives
...

Photosynthetic yellow , green, blue, brown or red in colour
...

Gonyaulax causes Red tides
...

No cellwall, outer most layer pellicle
...

Photosynthetic but also heterotrophic in absence of light ( Mixotroph)
...
Euglena
...


- Body is an aggregation called „Plasmodium‟ ( multinucleate, without
cellwall, irregular in shape and can spreadover several feet )
...


Protozoans –
- Fresh water or marine unicellular heterotrophs
...
strong

(a) Amoeboid Protozoans –
- Free living or parasites
...
Amoeba ,Entamoeba
...
Trypanosoma( causessleeping
sickness)
...
Ciliated Protozoans –
- With cilia eg
...


(d) Sporozoans –
- Spore like stage in life eg
...


Kingdom Fungi –
- Fungi are a group of achlorophyllous, heterotrophic organisms with cell wall
without cellulose
...

- Useful and Harmful both
...

- Unicellular (eg
...

- One unit of mycelium called hypha
...

- Lichens :– Symbiotic association of fungus and algae
...
Pinus
...
Sexual:
by gametes
...
Plasmogamy :– fusion of protoplasm
...
Karyogamy :- fusion of nuclei
...
Meiosis of zygote
...

- Mycelium aseptate, coenocytic
...
Sexual by zygospores
...
Yeast) or multicellular
-Saprophytic or parasitic
...
peziza
...

-Reproduction – asexual by exogenously produced conidia
...

-egAspergillus, Claviceps, Neurospora, Saccharomyces (yeast) etc
...

- Mycelium septate and branched and of two types
- Uninucleate 2) Dikaryophase
...

- Dikaryophase makes fruiting body Basidiocarp having Basidia
...

- Meiosis results in formation of four basidiopores
...
Agaricus (mushroom), Ustilago (smut fungi), Puccinia (rust fungus)
...
-Saprophyte/parasite , mostly decomposers
...
Alternaria,
colletotrichum, Trichoderma
...


- Only few members partialheterotrophs eg
...

- Few parasites eg
...

- Life cycle shows alternation of generation
...
Algae, Bryophytes,Pteridophyte, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
...

- No chloroplast and no cell wall
...


Reproduction
- sexual in general
- eg
...

- Viruses, Viroids and Lichens

- Viruses Connecting link between living and non living
...

- Host cell may be killed
...

- Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV)- Protein coat: - capsid consists of capsomers
...
Mumps, Small pox, Herpes, Influenza,
AIDS etc
...


Lichens
- Composite organisms
...
