28
Eubacteria

• Special Adaptations
• Nitrogen fixing
• Found in most habitats
• Aerobic or anaerobic types
• Conjugation

29
Protista

• Special Adaptations
• Fungi-like molds and mildews
• Plant-like algae with alternation of generations
  (spores vs. gametes)
• Animal-like protozoans, some with pseudopodia,
  conjugation, cysts, or spores

30
Fungi

• Special Adaptations
• Most reproduce with spores (sexually or
  asexually)
• Extracellular digestion
• Feeding relationships

31
Plantae

• Special Adaptations
• In most habitats
• Sexual reproduction (spores or seeds)
• Alternation of generations
• Photosynthetic
• Roots/stems/leaves/
• cuticle

32
