• Prokaryotic
• Unicellular
• Reproduces asexually
• Heterotrophic, but sometimes autotrophic
• Heterotrophic requiring the consumption of food
• Autotrophic able to produce and obtain its own
  energy
• Live in extreme environments
• High temperatures
• High salt conditions
• Little to know oxygen conditions

Bacteria

• Bacteria are all around you
• Your skin alone carries about 100,000 bacteria
• Prokaryotic
• Unicellular
• Asexual Reproduction
• Posesses a cell wall
• Most are heterotrophic, but some are autotrophic
• Heterotrophic requiring an outside food source
• Autotrophic able to produce own food
• Come in three major shapes
• Spherical (cocci)
• Rod-like (bacilli)
• Spiral (spirilla)

• Reproduces sexually or asexually
• Three Major Types
• Fungus-Like
• Plant-Like
• Animal-Like
