Prokaryotic Kingdoms

Back

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are the two prokaryotic kingdoms, characterized by their lack of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

What is the role of cell walls in plants?

Back

Cell walls provide structural support and protection to plant cells, primarily made of cellulose.

Front

What are the characteristics of Archaebacteria?

Back

Archaebacteria are prokaryotic organisms that often live in extreme environments and have unique biochemistry.

Front

What distinguishes fungi from plants?

Back

Fungi are heterotrophic and have chitin in their cell walls, while plants are autotrophic and have cellulose in their cell walls.
