The 6 Kingdoms of Life

• Plantia
• Animalia
• Protistia
• Fungi
• Archaebacteria
• Eubacteria

4
Plantia Kingdom

• Organisms (plants) that produce food through a
  process called photosynthesis
• Absorb Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen for
  people to breathe
• Produce covering and food for living organisms
• Plantia Kingdom is broken up in 12 different
  phylums

5
Animalia Kingdom

• This Kingdom is the most and least familiar to us
• Over 1,000,000 species are classified in this
  kingdom
• Animals are separated into 33 different phylums
  (phyla)
• The Arthropod phylum would probably be well over
  10 million species if scientists could identify
  every one in the rain forests

Chordata
Annelida
Echinoderm
6
Fungi Kingdom

• Simple organisms having animal and plant like
  characteristics
• They are not producers (able to create own food)
• Decomposers- feed on remains of dead organisms
• 40,000 different species of Fungi

Mushrooms
Molds and Mildew
Toadstools
7
Protistia Kingdom

• Set up to categorize all organisms that did not
  fit into any other kingdoms
• Organisms are unicellular and multicellular
• Made up of 60,000 different organisms
• Not bacteria
• Includes algae and slime molds

8
Archaebacteria
E. Coli

• Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments
  such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under
  conditions with no oxygen or highly acid
  environments.
• unicellular (one cell) organisms 

Cyanobacteria
Sulfolobus
9
Eubacteria

• complex and single celled. 
• Most bacteria are in the this kingdom.
• classified in their own kingdom because their
  chemical makeup is different. 
• Most eubacteria are helpful.  Some produce
  vitamins and foods like yogurt. 
• Others make you sick, such as Streptococci (strep
  throat)

Binomial Nomenclature

• Scholars before Linnaeus used names that were as
  long as 12 words to identify species
• Linnaeus created Binomial Nomenclature to
  simplify taxonomy
• Elephas maximus

Genus Name First letter always CAPITALIZED Italici
zed or Underlined
Species Name Never capitalized Italicized or
Underlined

that consists of answer to a series of questions
