But more specifically it is a bacteria that are singled celled organisims that have no nucleus. In the tundra the sceintefic name for monran is prokaryotic. Monerans live on organisims generally in the tundra that is the case. They are found on animals and on land. But have not been found in water or on the coast at least that is how it is at the Tundra.



**__Protist of the tundra__** Some protist are animal-like anad some are plant-like cell becuase of its chlorophyll and the cell walls Protists in the tundra are mostley found around the coast in the Alantic Ocean. They are found along the coast. The bactria is not found on land or no one has descoverd any on land.

__**Fugus in the Tundra**__ Fungi is a single celled organism, that aborbs nutrients. Lichen is a fungus found in the Tundra. Lichen is both a protist and a fungi and it can be found anywhere. Lichens are able to absorb water and nutrients dierectley into thier cells. They also don't have no vascular system. Lichens have many different forms they have crustose (crust like) there is foliose (leaf- like) and there is fruticose ( stalk-like). Lichen means a fungus that grows symbiotiotically with algae., resulting in a composite organism that forms a crustlike or braanching growth on rocks and tree trunks. Lichen has a more common name in the Tundra it is called Wolf Lichen. Along with a common name there is a scientific name for lichen in the Tundra. The scientific name for lichen is //Letharia vulpina.

  **__Mushroom Fungi of the tundra__**  A **mushroom** is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. they are found in moist places and they are sometimes close together. The scientifis name of a mushroom is Boletus Edulis, the common name is the mushroom.    <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(37,218,67); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(231,173,70); text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-size: 160%; color: rgb(231,55,8); font-family: Webdings; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-size: 160%; color: rgb(255,12,0); font-family: Webdings; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-size: 160%; color: rgb(231,55,8); font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; text-align: center;"> __** Plants of the Tudra **__ Plants are multicellular organisms that typically produce their own food from inorganic matter by the process of photosynthesis and that have more or less rigid cell walls. They include fimiluar organisms such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, and mosses. A type of small plant found in the tundra is Liverworts. They tend to not grow big they are really close to the ground. They are non vascular and they tightely packed mats.Liverworts are generally found on tree branches or rotting wood in the Tundra.

__Mammals__

Polar bears is probably the first animal that comes to your mind when you are asked what animals are on the tundra. Polar bears look like a big white bear. They are carnviores which means they eat meat. Kingdom- Animalia Phylum- Chordata Class- Mammailia Order- Carnivora Genus-Ursus species- maritimus



Artic Foxes are also mammals and are also commonly found in the tundra. The artic fox makes its home in small burrows, in frost-free grounds, often in low mounds, or in rock piles. Soemtimes the Artic fox will follow behing polar bears or other predors and feed off the remains it leaves behind. Which means it is a carnivore ad well. The Artic fox isn't that big either it is about 10 to 16 inches long and gets to be 6 to 12 pounds.



Lemmings are herbivores that live in small areas so that they can't be as easliy hunted by the Bald Eagle the White fox and the polar bears. Kingdom-Animalia Phlum-Chordata Class-Mamalia Order-Rodentia Family-Cricetdae Genus-**//Dicrostonyx//** species-groenlandicus
