The Monera Kingdom consists of many types of bacteria In the new __**6**__ kingdoms Monera is split into two kingdoms: Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria

There are three types of bacteria in the Monera Kingdom:

Rod-like Spherical  Spiral

Bacteria lives in many harsh environments like freezing temperature or burning hot weather.

Bacteria doesn't have a nuclei or in other words it is **prokaryotic.** Most bacteria doesn't have any **chlorophyll** either. The cell wall is **peptidoglycan** or murein.

Bacteria reproduces from what is called **Binary Fission.** Binary Fission is when the bacteria cell breaks into two parts and they should be identical. Sometimes mutation can occur and there can be some differences.

Binary Fission

How does bacteria get energy? Just like plants bacteria uses **photosynthesis**. Bacteria also get energy from minerals in the Earth. Circulation and digestion for bacteria are done through **diffusion.** To move most bacteria doesn't use cilia, but they use **flagella.** Cilia is almost like flagella but still a little different.

=**Glossary** = **prokaryotic-** having cells that lack membrane-bound nuclei **chlorophyll-** any of a group of green pigments found in photosynthetic organisms; there are four naturally occurring forms **Binary Fission-** The process whereby a cell divides into two to produce two daughter cells **photosynthesis-** a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight **peptidoglycan-** consists of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of bacteria. **flagella-** a tail-like projection that protrudes from the cell body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells **diffusion-** the spread if particles through random motion
