The Five Kingdoms and Classifying Organisms

The Five Kingdoms and Classifying Organisms Students receive text fragments from the teacher and discuss them in the group. Then 1 person from each group goes to the other group and listens to a paraphrase of their fragments and retells his own fragment. Then he moves to the next group and so until he returns to his group. Prokaryotes (or monera) are the simplest living things: bacteria and archaea. They generally do not have a cell nucleus, nor cell organelles, however a small number of exceptions have been found. Prokaryotes are unicellular. They are either bacteria or archaea. The taxon Monera was first proposed as a phylum by Ernst Haeckel in 1866. Subsequently, the phylum was elevated to the rank of kingdom in 1925 by Édouard Chatton. In 1676, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria and called them "animalcules,".Most of them can survive at very high or very low temperatures. Some of them can also survive in highly salty, acidic or alkaline water. Some have been found in geysers, black smokers or oil wells. Blue-green bacteria or blue-green algae are a special type of moneran bacteria that can produce its own food through photosynthesis. They also use flagella to move, like the protists, but their flagella has a different and simpler structure than the protists. subsequently [ˈsʌbsɪkwəntlɪ] нареч впоследствии microscopic organisms [maɪkrəˈskɒpɪk ˈɔːgənɪzəmz] сущ микроскопические организмы added [ˈædɪd] прич добавлен sole [səʊl] прил единственный fission [fɪʃn] сущ деление exist [ɪgˈzɪst] гл существовать flagella [fləˈʤelɪ] сущ жгутик transmit [trænzˈmɪt] гл передавать protists [prætst] простейшие
