Six Kingdoms of Life Seventh Grade Science
Six Kingdoms • Archaebacteria (prokaryotes) • Eubacteria (prokaryotes) • Protists • Fungi • Plants • Animals
Archaebacteria • Oldest form of life • Singe cell organism (unicellular) • Found in extreme environments • Geysers • Hotsprings • Volcanic ocean vents
Eubacteria • Second oldest form of life • Single cell organism (unicellular) • Most familiar bacteria • Streptococcus • Lactobacillus • Staphylococcus
Protists • “Odds and Ends” kingdom • All microscopic organisms that are not plants, not animal, not bacteria, and not fungi. • Single cell organism (unicellular) • Protozoa, Amoeba
Fungi • Most are multi-cellular organism • Mold, mildew, mushrooms • Some are very important to ecosystems or as food. • Some cause diseases – ringworm, and athlete’s foot
Plants • Second largest kingdom • Multi-cellular organisms • Producers (make their own food) • Without plants life as we know it would not exist.
Animals • Largest kingdom • Multi-cellular • Consumers – must eat for energy • Over 1 million known species
