Kingdoms Of Life Protista Ebook

Milliken's Kingdoms of Life series is aligned with national science standards and reflects current teaching practices. Each book includes approximately 50 black and white reproducible pages, 12 full-color transparencies (print books) or PowerPoint slides (eBooks), comprehension questions and lab activities for each unit, an answer key, a glossary of bolded terms, a timeline of biological discovery, a laboratory safety guide, as well as a national standards correlation chart. Protista details the structure and behavior of protists — distinguished from monera principally by being composed of so-called "true cells" (eukaryotes), or cells containing a distinct nucleus. Protists can be either unicellular or multicellular and include most algae and some fungi.

For researchers, teachers, and students who deal with eukaryotic microorganisms, this comprehensive guide contains current information on the protoctists and their descendants (exclusive of the animals, fungi, and plants). It represents an illustrated abbreviated version of Handbook of Protoctista (Jones & Bartlett, 1990). Extensively illustrated with drawings, light and electron micrographs, and includes photographs of leading contributors to protoctist research. Annotation c.

When people think of life forms, they often think of animals and plants. Not all organisms fit into these two groups. Protists are a hugely diverse group of organisms. They are usually tiny and made up of just a single cell. This valuable resource features colorful photographs that correlate very closely to details of the narrative, encouraging readers to develop a deeper understanding of the book's material as well as key concepts related to elementary life science curricula.

Plants details the anatomy and behavior of this kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic, mostly photosynthetic organisms. They typically lack locomotion or obvious nervous or sensory organs, and possess cellulose cell walls.

Animals details the anatomy and behavior of the kingdom with the greatest cellular complexity. It includes both many-celled and single-celled organisms (such as protozoans). Animals differ from plants in having cells without cellulose walls, in lacking chlorophyll and the capacity for photosynthesis, in requiring more complex food materials (as proteins), in being organized to a greater degree of complexity, and in having the capacity for spontaneous movement and rapid motor responses to stimulation.

Monera details the structure and behavior of the smallest and simplest life forms: bacteria and archaea. Bacteria and archaea are one-celled organisms distinguished by their lack of a distinct nucleus and the absence of membrane-bound organs.

This introductory, one quarter/one-semester text takes a multidisciplinary approach to studying the relationship between plants and people. The authors strive to stimulate interest in plant science and encourage students to further their studies in botany. Also, by exposing students to society's historical connection to plants, Levetin and McMahon hope to instill a greater appreciation for the botanical world. Plants and Society covers basic principles of botany with strong emphasis on the economic aspects and social implications of plants and fungi.
