An Introduction to Zoology - Friday, 1st Period

Despite his lack of sleep the last few days, Cutter had not been able to fall asleep last night so he had stayed up all night working on his lesson plan.

“This week we’re going to cover the remaining different kingdoms, we’ve covered animalia and plantae,” he began that week’s lecture as he handed out his usual stack of notes, “and we’re going to take a look at Kingdoms Monera, Protista, Fungi ,”

“Starting off with Kingdom Monera,” he continued, “typically with the Monera Kingdom, these are organisms that do not have a true nucleus, this means that their DNA is not enclosed in the nucleus and these also are some of the oldest microorganisms on Earth,”

“Meanwhile Kingdom Protista contains of protists that are eukaryotic organisms and these are grouped together because they typically don’t have anything in common with other kingdoms,” he explained, “they are typically microscopic and unicellular organisms,” he went on, “there are protists that can make their own food and are photosynthetic while others are heterotrophic and this means they seek out their own food,”

“The last Kingdom we have to cover is Kingdom Fungi,” Cutter concluded, “these are organisms that are heterotrophic and cannot make their own food and they play an important part in nutrient cycling in the ecosystem, fungi cells are do contain both a nucleus and organelles like plants and animals do however they do not contain cellulose, which does usually make up plant walls,”

“For your reports next week, I would like you to write up a report from two kingdoms of your choice, using the classification system that you’ve used for your previous reports,”
