Monerans
By Ty Carnahan, McLean
Leech, Andrei Bryant, and
Sam Jeffrey
Monera is the kingdom of bacteria.
Monerans are also known
as prokaryote.
Monerans, which is the plural form
of Monera, are single-celled
organisms.
There are about 2,700 known
kinds of monerans.
They live almost everywhere.
They can live even where other
organisms or life forms can't.
They can live in places from a hot
mountain spring to a cold arctic
tundra.
Cyanobacteria is a type of bacteria that makes up the green scum on the top of a pond. This type of bacteria cannot cause disease.
Bacteria is bacteria that can cause disease.
There are many types of bacteria.
Monerans are single-celled.
They have a cell wall, but do
not have a nucleus.
Although, they do have a nuclear
area with DNA in it.
They lack typical organelles (structures
that perform functions in a cell).
Autotrophs are monera that can
create their own food, like plants.
Heterotrophs cannot create their own food. They rely on autotrophs as their food source, like animals.
They are classified by their size, shape, and
how they are arranged in relation to each
other.
Over time they have been classified into many different groups.
What Are Monerans?
A gram of soil can contain
over 2 billion monerans.
