Comment on What are these plants called?

• hperrin@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  The four kingdoms of eukaryotes are:

  • Animals
  • Plants
  • Fungi
  • Protists

  So, taxonomically, plants are as different from fungi as they are from animals.

  Above that is the domains of life:

  • Eukaryotes (all of the above)
  • Bacteria
  • Archaea

  Then above that:

  • Cellular life (all of the above)
  • Viruses
  • Viroids
  • Obelisks (Potentially. Just announced last month.)

    Wild. Thanks for the terminology. I’m about to go down a Google rabbit hole now.

    And then you got yer prions, which are just self-replicating proteins, and not considered living, but worth mentioning because they kinda act like it.

      They don’t self-replicate. They interact with well-folded versions of the protein. Causing them to unfold and aggregate into plaques.

        yeah, so they are similar to viruses in that they cant self-replicate because they need something very specific to attach onto to replicate.

  Yes - they are completely different.

    I hope to god they at least are still considered flora?

    • sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They are not, mushrooms are more closely related to animals

        So that’s why they scream and beg for their lives while I’m cooking.

        Which is a fact that for some reason I will never be fully okay with.
