  1. The 6 Kingdoms By Madison Russell

  2. Animal Kingdom • All organisms must be eukaryotic. • Multicellular • Heterotrophs • All motile except coral • Lack cell walls • Heterotrophic through ingestion • Separated into categories: omnivore, herbivore, carnivore, and parasite • Oldest animal fossil is 665 million years old

  3. Plant Kingdom • Cell walls with cellulose • Multicellular • Reproduce asexually • Eukaryotic • autotrophic • 85-90% are flowering plants • 300-315 thousand species • Green plants provide most of the world’s oxygen

  4. Eubacteria • Single-celled • Prokaryotic • Microscopic • Enclosed by a cell wall • Reproduce asexually • Reproduce quickly • Can be good or bad • Impressive range of biological diversity

  5. Protista Kingdom • Eukaryotic • Mostly unicellular • Organisms that don’t fit into any other kingdom • Some are multicellular with no specialized tissues • Live in environment with liquid water • Term first used in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel • Many are vital primary producers in ecosystems • Taxonomy of Protists is still changing

  6. Fungi • Eukaryotic • Cell walls contain chitin • Heterotrophic • Immobile • Lack chloroplasts • Mushrooms are a type of fungus • The term fungus comes directly from the Latin term fungus which means mushroom • Mycology is the study of Fungi

  7. Archaebacteria • Single-celled • Prokaryotic • Cell membrane contains pseudomurein • Flagellin protein structure • No peptidoglycan • Classification of archae is very controversial • First classified as a separate group in 1977 • Many live in hot springs and other extreme temperatures
