6 Kingdoms of Life

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

• 1. Cell Type- The presence or absence of a
  nucleus.

Prokaryotes (NO nucleus) Eukaryotes (DO
carry a nucleus)
5

• 2. Cell number - Whether the organisms exist as
  single cells or as many cells

• Unicellular- single celled organism

• Multicellular- many celled organism

6

• Unicellular

• Multicellular

7

• 3. Feeding Type - How the organisms get their
  food

• Producer (Autotroph)
• Makes its own food

Consumer (Heterotroph) Must eat other organisms
to survive

As you 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 Unicellular AND/OR Multicellular
Feeding Type Producer (Autotroph) OR Consumer
(Heterotroph)
Some interesting facts about that kingdom

6 Kingdoms

• Archaebacteria
• Eubacteria
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia

Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
10
First Two Kingdoms

• The first two kingdoms involve bacteria.
  Scientists at one time grouped bacteria into one
  kingdom but just recently divided them into two
  groups Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
• Both groups of bacteria are prokaryotes and
  unicellular

11
Archaebacteria

• Archaebacteria is also called ancient bacteria as
  they date back 4 billion years
• They are found in harsh environments that no
  other organism lives. We called them
  heat-loving or salt-loving or
  Methane-loving
• The yellow and orange rings around the hot
  springs in Yellowstone National Park were formed
  by the remains of archaebacteria billions of
  years ago!

12
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.

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 producers and can
  photosynthesize like a plant.
• Some bacteria are consumers that catch their food

15

• We would not have yogurt or cheese if it was not
  for bacteria! Cleaning solutions and some
  medicines are also made from specific types
  of bacteria. They also are decomposers and help
  with the nitrogen cycle.
• 99 of bacteria is helpful and only 1 causes
  diseases such as tuberculosis and diphtheria.

16
Protists

• Protists include many unicellular organisms, like
  slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae. They
  also include multicellular organisms such as
  brown algae.

17
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

18
Protists Disease

• Amebic dysentery

Ameba histolytica
19
Protists Disease

• African Sleeping Sickness

 Trypanosoma
20
Protists Disease

• Malaria
• Malaria kills about one million people every year!

Plasmodium
21
Protists Movement

• 3 types of movement
• Pseudopod (false foot)
• Flagella/cilia (hairs)
• Contractile vacuoles

22
Protists Feeding Style

• Protists can be
• producers(autotrophs)
• or
• consumers(heterotroph)

23
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.

24
Fungi

• All fungi are eukaryotic
• They may be unicellular or multicellular
• Found in wet areas

Unicellular (yeast)
Multicellular
25
Fungi
Penicillin

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

26
Fungi

• Fungi also causes a number of plant and animal
  diseases

• Athlete's Foot

27
Fungi

• Ringworm

28
Fungi Movement

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

29
Fungi Feeding

• All fungi are consumers (heterotrophs)
• They absorb nutrients from dead organic matter

30
Plants

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

31

• Mosses

32

• Liverworts Hornworts

33

• Ferns

34

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

35

• Flowering plants
• Angiosperms

36

• Animalia

All animals are multicellular and made of the
more complex Eukaryotic cells. All are consumers
(heterotrophs) that are capable of movement at
some point in their lives.
37

• Some important animal groups (phyla) are the

38

• Porifera sponges

39

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

40

• Nematocyst

41

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

42

• Platyhelminthes (flat worms)
• Tapeworms flukes

Human liver fluke
43

• Annelids (segmented worms)
• Worms leeches

44

• Echinoderms
• Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers

45

• Arthropods
• Shell fish, arachnids BUGS!

46

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

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. You can go back through the
slides for examples and/or use the following
slide.
