Bacteria, Protist, Fungi
Bacteria, protists, and fungi are all kingdoms, but since they are different kingdoms, they have different characteristics. All of the examples mentioned underneath are found in Yellowstone:
BACTERIA is like paparazzi - they are there whether you want them or not, and they both hide - except when the paparazzi hide behind trees and bushes, bacteria hide from the human eye.
Oh yeah: bacteria is everywhere,including homo-sapiens, or humans. People frequently come in and out of Yellowstone National Park. Humans are more distinct than the average bacteria-home, though. We have the ability to speak languages, have the famous opposable thumbs, and the ability to reason. We're only supposed to tread on the path marked for us, but some get lost or sneak away (HINT: Do NOT do this). By going off the marked path, bacteria spreads onto plants and animals throughout the park when they are not supposed to. However, even when we stay on the marked path, we are still spreading bacteria.
PROTIST are less common than bacteria, but they're still found in many places. One of many examples of protist is seaweed. Seaweed is grown underwater (that's one thing that Spongebob was right about). Seaweed is a place for fish to hide behind and eat. However, we homo-sapiens dive underwater to use the seaweed in our everyday lives. Seaweed is also used in some medicines that help tuberculosis, arthritis, influenza, the common cold and even some worm infections! Seaweed isn't the only protist that is used in medicine, though. Some protist are used to treat hypertension, digestion problems, and ulcers.
FUNGI are also very common. Some examples are widely known, such as mushrooms, puffballs, or bracket fungi on trees, found in Yellowstone during certain parts of the year. Mushrooms can come with a couple different characteristics, including mushrooms with gills and some with different types of pores. There are a lot of varieties of mushrooms in Yellowstone. They are used to break down logs, leaves, stems and more.
