Eubacteria

General Discription of Group: Eubacteria is unicellular and prokaryotic. They can be multicellular or they can colonize and come together. They have a slimy cell membrane that protects them from parasitic organisims. They are heterotrophs. They have Ribosomes and a plasmid membrane in the cytoplasm. They reproduce asexually.

Defining Characteristics of Group: They do not have mitochondrion or chloroplasts, a rigid cell wall, they can have flagella and they have spores. They are spiral shaped, rod shaped or spherical.

Evolutionary Adaptations: This is basically a more progressed adaptation of archaebacteria. They are more efficient than archaebacteria because they are the more modern version of them. They are mostly filled with ribosomes and are not very complex organisms.

Ecological Importance: They used in many antibiotics and help us digest our food. Without them we would not have many developed medications or be able to digest anything, or it would be very difficult.

Example from kingdom:
1.)
2.) Eubacteria, Bacteria
3.) Habitat=Everywhere. Niche= they have roles in humans lives and medicine, cheese, wine and many basic food products that we consume everyday.
4.) They have a very fast reproduction rate
They only move forward
They reproduce through Binary Fission
Their chemical make up is different from all other species
There are a lot of harmful bacteria as there are helpful.
