Lecture Topic For Examination #3

An Introduction to Kingdom Monera

Overview:

This is a link to an excellent site which will provide an excellent summary on bacteria.

Background:

This lecture will begin the series on the kingdoms of life. In this lecture series we will explore five kingdoms; Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. This kingdom, which includes bacteria and blue-green bacteria, is the only one of the five kingdoms whose members are procaryotes. As your Interactive Study Partner has already pointed out, it won't be long before there are at least ten kingdoms.

The Key Points are your guide to success in the course because they focus your attention on those topics upon which you need to concentrate your study to be optimally prepared for the upcoming examination.

Also study the references to the textbook which are indicated in the Survey of Biology Lecture Notes.
