1. The Kingdoms of Life

2. Kingdom Monera Bacteria and the cyanobacteria ("blue-green algae").
Single-celled organisms
Prokaryotic (no nucleus)
single chromosome
small ribosomes
reproduce by simple division
autotrophic can synthesize their own foods
heterotrophic digest preformed organic matter.

3. Monera sp.

4. Kingdom Protista
Protozoa, paramecium, the one-celled algae, and the slime molds.
Eukaryotic (have a nucleus)
Unicellular
autotrophic or heterotrophic
nucleus and organelles in their cytoplasm
multiple chromosomes
large ribosomes
reproduce by mitosis (nucleus splits in two)

5. protista sp.

7. Kingdom Fungi
Yeasts, molds, mildews, mushrooms, and other similar organisms
Eukaryotic and heterotrophic
Unicellular to long chains of cells called filamentous fungi.
Cell wall contains chitin or cellulose
Absorbs small molecules of food from the outside environment.

8. Fungi sp.

9. Kingdom Plantae Autotrophic Multi-cellular Cell wall and cell membrane
Chloroplasts capture sunlight and convert it to organic matter (photosynthesis)

10. Plant Sp.

11. Heterotrophic Multi-cellular Nervous system Tissues Mobile
Kingdom Animalia
Heterotrophic
Multi-cellular
Nervous system
Tissues
Mobile

12. Animal Sp.

13. Organisms are grouped by characteristics
Now What?
Organisms are grouped by characteristics
Kingdom Animalia
Vertebrates (animals w/ back bones)
Invertebrates (animals w/o backbones)

14. Kingdom Animalia Phylum:
Chordates (This means the wolf had a notochord that developed into its backbone.)
Class:
Mammals (This means the wolf has hair, bears live young, and nurses them with mammary glands.)
Order:
Carnivores (This means the wolf is a meat eater.)
Family:
Canids (This means the wolf has nonretractable claws, a long muzzle, and separate toes.)
Genus:
Canis (This means the wolf is a member of the dog family.)
Species:
lupus (This refers to a particular type of wolf known as the European wolf.)

15. Binomial Nomenclature
Developed by Carlos Linneaus
Identifies an individual species
Latin
First word is the Genus, always capitalized and in italics
Second word is the species, always lower case and in italics

16. Relatives
Canis lupus European Wolf
Canis familiaris Common Dog
Felis tigrina Tiger
Felis domesticus Common cat
