Six Kingdoms • Archaebacteria • Eubacteria • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia
Archaebacteria Cell Type: • Prokaryotes • Prokaryotes – no bound organelles, “pro” means first
Eubacteria Cell Type: • Prokaryotes
Protista Cell Type: • Eukaryotes
Fungi Cell Type: • Eukaryotes
Plantae Cell Type: • Eukaryotes
Animalia Cell Type: • Eukaryotes
Archaebacteria Cell Structures: • No nucleus, no membrane bound structures • Cell membrane contains lipid not found in other organisms
Eubacteria Cell Structure: • No nucleus • Have cells walls made up of peptidoglycan
Protista Cell Structures: • Cell membrane • Well defined nucleus • Membrane bound organelles
Fungi Cell Structures: • Have a nucleus and mitochondria • No chloroplasts • Cell wall of chitin
Plantae Cell Structures: • Nucleus • Cell membrane • Cell wall • Chloroplasts
Animalia Cell Structures: • Nucleus • Cell membrane • No cell wall • No chloroplasts
Archaebacteria Body Form: • Unicellular
Eubacteria Body Form: • Unicellular • Colonies (groups)
Protista Body Form: • Mostly unicellular • Some multicellular (colonies)
Fungi Body Form: • Unicellular • Multicellular
Plantae Body Form: • Multicellular
Animalia Body Forms: • Multicellular
Archaebacteria Nutrition: • Autotrophic • Chemosynthetic
Eubacteria Nutrition: • Autotrophic • Heterotrophic
Protista Nutrition: • Autotrophic • Heterotrophic • Symbiotic (living together and one is benefiting)
Fungi Nutrition: • Heterotrophic • Decomposers • Symbiotic
Plantae Nutrition: • Autotrophic • Photosynthetic
Animalia Nutrition: • Heterotrophic
Archaebacteria Special Adaptations: • Methanogens • Halophiles • Thermophiles • Chemosynthetic
Eubacteria Special Adaptations: • Nitrogen fixing • Found in most habitats • Aerobic or anaerobic types • Conjugation
Protista Special Adaptations: • Fungi-like molds and mildews • Plant-like algae with alternation of generations (spores vs. gametes) • Animal-like protozoans, some with pseudopodia, conjugation, cysts, or spores
Fungi Special Adaptations: • Most reproduce with spores (sexually or asexually) • Extracellular digestion • Feeding relationships
Plantae Special Adaptations: • In most habitats • Sexual reproduction (spores or seeds) • Alternation of generations • Photosynthetic • Roots/stems/leaves/ cuticle
Animalia Special Adaptations: • Find or capture food • Fat for food storage • Specialized cells • Adapted to environment
Archaebacteria Examples: • Methanogens • Halophiles • Thermophiles
Eubacteria Examples: • Rhizobium • E. coli • Salmonella
Protista Examples: • Euglena • Amoeba • Volvox • Paramecium • Diatoms
Fungi Examples: • Yeasts • Molds • Mushrooms • Lichens • Penicillium
Plantae Examples: • Mosses • Ferns • Flowering plants • Seaweeds • Trees
Animalia Examples: • Gemsbok • Dogs • Cats • Humans
