EUKARYA

Presented by: Klyde Ann Rafol BSBIO 3B

WHAT IS EUKARYA?

• One of the three domains of life

• Includes all organisms with
eukaryotic cells
INCLUDES

• Protists • Animal
• Fungi s
• Plants
CHARACTERISTICS
•Membrane- bound organelles
(e.g. nucleus, mitochondria,
endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi
apparatus).
• Larger and more complex than
prokaryotic cells
ANIMALS
• Constitutes all animals.

• Heterotrophic mode of
nutrition
PHYLA
• Porifera
Arthropoda
• Cnidaria
Mollusca
• Platyhelminthes Echinodermata
Hemichordata
• Nematoda
• Chordata
• Annelida
 PLANTS
• Includes all the plants.

• Multicellular and
autotrophic organisms.
PHYLA
• Thallophyta
• Bryophyta
• Pteridophyta
• Gymnosperms
• Angiosperms
PROTISTS
• Protists can be heterotrophic or autotrophic, mobile or immobile,
single-celled or multi-celled.
THREE CATEGORIES OF PROTISTS
• Animal-like protists - PROTOZOA
which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move.
• Plant-like protists - ALGAE
which are autotrophs that photosynthesize.
• Fungi-like protists – MOLDS
which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and reproduce by
forming spores.
FUNGI
• Has cell wall and are
omnipresent.

• Classified as heterotrophs among

the living organisms.
Eukaryote – refers
to organism itself

Eukaryotic –
describes the
organism’s cell
• Eukarya, a diverse group of eukaryotic cells, play crucial roles
in ecosystems as primary producers and consumers, and
decomposers. They contribute to Earth's diversity and
complexity, including multicellular plants, protists, animals, and
fungi. Understanding Eukarya's ecological and evolutionary
significance is essential for appreciating our planet's life web.
