, Characteristics of Bacteria and Archaea - ✔✔unicellular; lack nuclei
found with moisture
reproduce asexually
bacteria walls contain peptidoglycan
Archael cell walls contain polymers
Characteristics of fungi - ✔✔Eukaryotic
Nutrients from other organisms
posses cell walls
characteristics of protozoa - ✔✔single celled eukaryotes, similar to animals in
nutrient needs, live freely in water
capable of locomotion by: pseudopods, cilia, and flagella
pseudopods, flagella, cilia - ✔✔Motility structures of protozoa
characteristics of algae - ✔✔photo synthetic; catagorized by the basis of
pigmentation and composition of cell wall
4 questions scientist searched for - ✔✔Is spontaneous generation of microbial
life possible?
