  1. The 7 Levels of Classification And the Six kingdoms

  2. King Phyl

  3. Aristotle 300’s BC • Classified organisms three ways; • Things that fly • Things that swim • Things that walk, crawl and run.

  4. King Phyl

  5. Carolus Linnaeus – 1750’s • Used observations for the basis of his system. • Observable features. • Came up with a naming system called binomial nomenclature (2 part name) • Used Latin, the language of scientists, species and genus.

  6. King Phyl Came Over For Great Spaghetti Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species 7 Levels of Classification

  7. The Six Kingdoms Organisms are classified by: • Type of cell • Ability to make food • Number of cells in their body

  8. The 6 Kingdoms • Archaebacteria • Eubacteria • Protists • Fungi • Plants • Animals

  9. Archaebacteria • Unicellular • Prokaryotic – no organized nucleus • Autotrophs and heterotrophs • Thermoacidophile • Extreme halophiles “Ancient Bacteria”

  10. Eubacteria • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Autotrophs or heterotrophs • Staphylococcus, and • E-coli.

  11. Protists • Unicellular or multicellular • Autotrophs or heterotrophs • Eukaryotic – organized nucleus • Amoeba, paramecium, slime molds, euglena, algae.

  12. Fungi • Most are multicellular • Some are unicellular • Eukaryotes • Heterotrophs • Feed on dead and decaying organisms • Sessile-cannot move on own. • Mushrooms, molds, mildew.

  13. Plant • Multicellular • Eukaryotes • Autotrophs • Sessile • Roses, magnolias.

  14. Animals • Multicellular • Eukaryotes • Heterotrophs • Mobile-can move on own • Specialized sense organs

  15. Almost Every Person Forgets Plants Animals Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protists Fungi Plants Animals So… to remember the kingdoms in correct order…..
