  1. Overview of the Six Kingdoms

  2. Vocabulary Which term means one-celled? Many-celled? • multicellular • unicellular Which term means that the organism produces its own food? Consumes food? • autotroph • heterotroph

  3. Vocabulary • Prokaryotic – describes an organism with cells that have a cell membrane but do NOT have a nuclear membrane • Eukaryotic – describes an organism with cells that have a cell membrane and a nuclear membrane

  4. Vocabulary • Autotrophic – makes its own food • Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it consumes

  5. List of the Three Domains and the Six Kingdoms 1.Domain Bacteria • Kingdom Eubacteria 2. Domain Archaea • Kingdom Archaebacteria 3. Domain Eukarya • Kingdom Protista • Kingdom Fungi • Kingdom Plantae • Kingdom Animalia

  6. Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria can live in many places on earth, inhabiting a wide variety of habitats, including other organisms • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic or heterotrophic • Thick cells walls with peptidoglycan

  7. Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria come in different shapes, such as round, spiral and rod-shaped.

  8. Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria can cause a wide variety of diseases, such as strep throat, food poisoning and the Black Death (bubonic plague of the Middle Ages)

  9. Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria also play an important role in decomposition, nitrogen fixation and human digestion (E. coli) Soybean root containing billions of bacteria

  10. Kingdom Eubacteria • Procholorococcus – an autotrophic bacterium – What does that mean about how it gets its nutrients?

  11. Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria from an Nitrifying Trickle Filter (NTF) stained with acridene orange.  The stain makes DNA appear yellow and RNA appear orange.

  12. Kingdom Archaebacteria • Bacteria that live in extreme habitats, such as hot springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine pools, black smokers • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic or heterotrophic • Cell walls without peptidoglycan

  13. Kingdom Archaebacteria Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park – note the bright colors from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water.

  14. Kingdom Archaebacteria • Some like it hot! Bacillus infernus

  15. Kingdom Archaebacteria • Archaebacteria can live deep in the ocean near geothermal vents called black smokers • There is no light, so they carry out chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis

  16. Kingdom Protista • Extremely diverse group • Eukaryotic • Most unicellular, some colonial, some multicellular • Autotrophic and heterotrophic • Some with cell walls containing cellulose; some carry out photosynthesis with chloroplasts

  17. Kingdom Protista Euglena - autotrophic Volvox – a colonial protist A slime mold Amoeba - heterotrophic

  18. Kingdom Fungi • Eukaryotic • Most are multicellular • Heterotrophic (decomposers) • Cell walls made of chitin

  19. Kingdom Fungi Stilton cheese Bread mold

  20. Kingdom Plantae • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Autotrophic • Cell wall of cellulose; chloroplasts present

  21. Kingdom Plantae

  22. Kingdom Animalia • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Heterotrophic • No cell walls, no chloroplasts

  23. Kingdom Animalia Flatworm Sponge Jellyfish Octopus Coral snake Bear
