  1. 6 Kingdoms of Life

  2. The student will investigate and understand life functions of archaebacteria, monerans (eubacteria), protists, fungi, plants, and animals including humans. Key concepts include: • how their structures and functions vary between and within the kingdoms; • comparison of their metabolic activities; • analyses of their responses to the environment; • maintenance of homeostasis; • human health issues, human anatomy, body systems, and life functions; and • how viruses compare with organisms.

  3. As living things are constantly being investigated, new attributes are revealed that affect how organisms are placed in a standard classification system.

  4. The grouping of organisms into KINGDOMS is based on 3 factors: • 1. Cell Type (prokyotic or eukaryotic) • 2. Cell Number (unicellular or multicellular) • 3. Feeding Type (autotroph or heterotroph)

  5. 1. Cell Type- The presence or absence of cellular structures such as the nucleus, mitochondria, or a cell wall Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes

  6. Prokaryotes – Bacteria! • DO NOT HAVE: • An organized nucleus • Structured organelles

  7. Prokaryotes – Typical Bacteria • DNA – strands floating in cytoplasm/small rings called plasmids Basic Structure • Ribosomes- RNA/protein synthesis sites • Cytoplasm-water based • Cell membrane & Wall

  8. Eukaryotes • Nucleus organized with a membrane • DO HAVE: • other organelles

  9. Unicellular- single celled organism – protozoans, bacteria, some algae 2nd criteria for Kingdom Divisions: Cell Number • Multicellular- many celled organism – cells start to specialize/differentiate

  10. Multicellular • Unicellular

  11. Autotroph or Producer • Make their own food 3rd Criteria for Kingdom Divisions Feeding Type - How the organisms get their food • Heterotroph or Consumer • Must eat other organisms to survive • Includes decomposers – those that eat dead matter!

  12. This kingdom has now been divided into 2 – archaebacteria & eubacteria There used to be only 5 kingdoms • Moneran • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia

  13. 6 Kingdoms Prokaryotes • Archaebacteria • Eubacteria • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia Eukaryotes

  14. Archaebacteria • Ancient bacteria- • Live in very harsh environments • extremophiles

  15. Eubacteria • It is the eubacteria that most people are talking about when they say bacteria, because they live in more neutral conditions.

  16. Bacteria • Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes

  17. Bacterial Shapes • Bacteria come in 3 main shapes • Rod or Stick (bacilli) • Sphere (cocci) • Helical or spiral (borrelia)

  18. Bacterial Locomotion • Some bacteria have flagella or cilia for movement • Some secrete a slime layer and ooze over surfaces like slugs

  19. Bacterial Nutrition • Some bacteria are autotrophs and can photosynthesize • Some bacteria are heterotrophs

  20. Protists • Protists include many widely ranging microbes, including slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae. Odds & Ends Kingdom

  21. Protista Kingdom • There are animal-like, fungus-like, and plant-like protists • Some are beneficial • Some protists can cause diseases in humans, such as:

  22. Protists Disease Ameba histolytica • Amebic dysentery

  23. Protists Disease • Giardiasis (beaver fever) Giardia

  24. Protists Disease Trypanosoma • African Sleeping Sickness

  25. Protists Disease • Malaria Plasmodium

  26. Protists Disease • Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasma

  27. Protists Locomotion • 3 types of movement: • Pseudopod (false foot) • Flagella/cilia • Contractile vacuoles

  28. Protists Nutrition • Protists can be autotrophs or heterotrophs

  29. Fungi Kingdom • The Kingdom Fungi includes some of the most important organisms. • By breaking down dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems.

  30. Fungi Unicellular (yeast) Multicellular • All fungi are eukaryotic • They may be unicellular or multicellular • All fungi have a cell wall

  31. Fungi Penicillin • Fungi can be very helpful and delicious • Many antibacterial drugs are derived from fungi

  32. Fungi • Fungi also causes a number of plant and animal diseases: • Athlete's Foot

  33. Fungi • Ringworm

  34. Fungi Locomotion • Fungi are stationary • They have root-like structures that they use for attachment

  35. Fungi Nutrition • All fungi are heterotrophs - Saprophytes-get their nutrients from dead organic matter - Mutualists – live symbiotically - Parasites – absorb from a host, eventually killing the host

  36. There are 4 main types of Fungi (classified by how they reproduce) • Zygospore (Zygosporangia) common bread molds reproduce by “spores”- asexual reproduction!

  37. There are 4 main types of Fungi 2. Club Fungi (Basidiomycetes) Mushrooms & puffballs • Reproduce by spores, some spores are asexual (coming from mitosis) and some are sex spores (coming from meiosis)

  38. There are 4 main types of Fungi 3. Sac Fungi (Ascomycetes) Yeast – reproduce by “budding” = asexual method

  39. Pharmaceutically important! • Fungi on oranges from which penicillin is extracted • COMMERCIALLY important! • Fungi accounts for the blue vein in blue cheese! • Used to make soy sauce. Yum! There are 4 main types of Fungi 4. Imperfect Fungi (Deuteromycetes)

  40. Plant Kingdom • All plants are multicellular, their cells having a cell wall, and… • they are autotrophs

  41. Non-vascular Mosses (Bryophytes) Ferns (Pteridophytes) • 4 important plant groups are the: Vascular Flowering Plants (Angiosperms) Conifers (Gymnosperms)

  42. the simplest of all land dwelling plants  • lack an internal means for water transportation  • do not produce seeds or flowers • - fertilization depends on water medium to get the sperm to the egg. • lack a woody tissue necessary for support around their “stems” and so are usually relatively short • Nonvascular Plants - Mosses

  43. Mosses

  44. Liverworts & Hornworts

  45. Internal transportation System • Xylem – water carrying tubes • Phloem – sugar carrying tissues • enables plants to evolve into larger specimens. • Produce Seeds – protects and nourishes an Embryo of the new plant • Vascular Plants

  46. Gymnosperms • Conifers (pine cones) • Oldest vascular plants
