  1. 6 Kingdoms of Life

  2. All organisms are classified into one of the following 6 kingdoms. Archaebacteria – bacteria that live in harsh conditions Eubacteria – bacteria that live in normal conditions Protista – organisms made of one eukaryotic cell Fungi – mushrooms and molds Plantae – all plants including trees, bushes, and flowers Animalia – all animals including insects

  3. The grouping of organisms into KINGDOMS is based on 3 factors: • 1. Cell Type • 2. Cell Number • 3. Feeding Type Notice these are three of the categories at the top of your chart.

  4. Prokaryotes (NO nucleus) & Eukaryotes (DO carry a nucleus) 1. Cell Type- The presence or absence of a nucleus.

  5. Unicellular- single celled organism 2.Cell number- Whether the organisms exist as single cells or as many cells • Multicellular- many celled organism

  6. Multicellular • Unicellular

  7. Autotroph or Producer • Makes it’s own food 3. Feeding Type- How the organisms get their food • Heterotroph or Consumer • Must eat other organisms to survive

  8. As we go through the PowerPoint Fill in the chart with the correct information about each of the 6 kingdoms. Remember for each kingdom your want to find: Cell Type – Prokaryotic OR Eukaryotic Cell Number – Single celled OR Multi celled Feeding Type – Autotrophic OR Heterotrophic How organisms in that kingdom are important to us

  9. 6 Kingdoms Prokaryotes • Archaebacteria • Eubacteria • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia Eukaryotes

  10. Archaebacteria • Ancient bacteria- • Live in very harsh environments

  11. Eubacteria • It is the eubacteria that most people are talking about when they say bacteria, because they live in more normal conditions like the human body or pond water.

  12. Both Types of Bacteria • ALL bacteria are single celled, prokaryotes so they are very simple organisms

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

  14. Bacterial Feeding • Some bacteria are autotrophs and can photosynthesize like a plant. • Some bacteria are heterotrophs that catch their food

  15. Protists • Protists include many single celled organisms, like slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae. Odds & Ends Kingdom

  16. Protists • There are animal-like, fungus-like, and plant-like protists • Some are beneficial • Protists are found in lakes and ponds • Some protists can cause diseases in humans, such as:

  17. Protists Disease Ameba histolytica • Amebic dysentery

  18. Protists Disease Trypanosoma • African Sleeping Sickness

  19. Protists Disease • Malaria Plasmodium

  20. Protists Movement • 3 types of movement: • Pseudopod (false foot) • Flagella/cilia (hairs) • Contractile vacuoles

  21. Protists Feeding Style • Protists can be autotrophs or heterotrophs

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

  23. Fungi Unicellular (yeast) Multicellular • All fungi are eukaryotic • They may be unicellular or multicellular • Found in wet areas

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

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

  26. Fungi • Ringworm

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

  28. Fungi Feeding • All fungi are heterotrophs • They absorb nutrients from dead organic matter

  29. Plants • All plants are multicellular organisms made of Eukaryotic cells that have a cell wall. They get food through photosynthesis so they are autotrophs.

  30. Mosses

  31. Liverworts & Hornworts

  32. Ferns

  33. Conifers (cone bearing) • Gymnosperms • Oldest vascular plants

  34. Flowering plants • Angiosperms

  35. All animals are multicellular and made of the more complex Eukaryotic cells. All are heterotrophs that are capable of movement at some point in their lives. Animalia

  36. Some important animal groups (phyla) are the:

  37. Porifera: sponges

  38. Cnidarians: Jellyfish, corals, and other stingers. . . Their stinger is called a nematocyst

  39. Nematocyst

  40. Mollusks • Octopi, squid • Clams, oysters • Snails, slugs

  41. Platyhelminthes (flat worms) • Tapeworms & flukes Human liver fluke

  42. Annelids (segmented worms) • Worms & leeches

  43. Echinoderms • Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers

  44. Arthropods • Shell fish, arachnids & BUGS!

  45. Chordates • The Chordata is the animal phylum with which everyone is most familiar, since it includes humans and other vertebrates.

  46. Now That you are familiar with the 6 Kingdoms of Life, complete your thinking map by putting the title of the kingdom and some illustrated examples of organisms that belong to that kingdom in each box.
