1. The Six Kingdoms

2. The History of Classification
In the 1700’s, Linnaeus separated all life into 2 Kingdoms: Plants and Animals.
More kingdoms added as knowledge of the diversity of organisms increased.
First Classification is Domain
Then we have 6 Kingdoms.
Each broken up into their own groups

3. Domain 3 Domains: consisting of the following
1. Bacteria: contains only the Kingdom: Eubacteria
2. Archaea: contains only the Kingdom: Archaebacteria
3. Eukarya: contains the rest of the Kingdoms:
Protista Fungi
Plantae Animalia

4. Six Kingdoms in Taxonomy
organized according to type of cells, How to obtain energy(ability to make food), number of cells in body
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia

5. Archaebacteria Major Characteristics: -unicellular prokaryotes
Reproduce asexually
They cannot live where there is oxygen
They are the oldest organisms on earth
existed before dinosaurs
live in extreme environments
-hot springs
-acidic environment
-methane
-unicellular prokaryotes
-some autotrophs: uses chemicals

6. Extreme Environments
Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under conditions with no oxygen or highly acid environments.

7. Eubacteria Chemical makeup is different from that of archaebacteria.
-unicellular prokaryote
- heterotrophs
Major Characteristics
They live everywhere
They reproduce asexually by binary fission
Most are helpful, a few are pathogenic (make us sick)

9. Protists
-“odds and ends” kingdom because its organisms are pretty different from one another
-most unicellular, some multicellular
-eukaryotes
-some autotrophs, some heterotrophs
Major Characteristics:
Reproduce asexually by binary fission
Also reproduce sexually
The first eukaryotes on earth

10. Protozoa

11. Fungi -mushrooms, mold, and mildew
-most are multicellular, some (like yeast) are unicellular
-eukaryotes
-all are heterotrophs
Major Characteristics:
They reproduce sexually
They make spores which contain baby fungi
They have root-like structures called hyphae that absorb food
-eat dead or decaying organisms

12. FUNGI

13. Plantae -all plants are multicellular -all are eukaryotes
-plants are autotrophs
Major Characteristics:
CELL WALLS MADE OUT OF CELLULOSE
THEY ARE GREEN, THEIR CELLS CONTAIN CHLOROPLASTS WITH CHLOROPHYLL
THEY REPRODUCE SEXUALLY
THEY PRODUCE SPORES OR SEEDS
MALE PLANTS PRODUCE POLLEN
FEMALE PLANTS PRODUCE FRUIT

14. Animalia -all are multicellular Charteristics -all are eukaryotes
-all are heterotrophs
Animals have complex bodies
Animals have symmetry
Animals have organs and tissues

17. Terminology
Getting food autotrophs – make own food hetertrophs – get food from other sources Type of cells prokaryotic – no nucleus, membrane bound organelles, DNA is circular (plasmid), do contain ribosomes, smaller eukaryotic – with a nucleus and organelles, DNA in chromosomes, larger

18. Terminology Continued
Body type unicellular – made of only one cell multicellular – made of more than one cell; -have cells with special functions Reproduction sexual – need male and female parents asexual – need only one parent

19. The Six Kingdoms Review
Eubacteria- “true” bacteria (prokaryotic)
Archaebacteria – “ancient” bacteria (prokaryotic”
Protista – WEIRD organisms!!!! (eukaryotic)
Fungi – digest dead or decaying matter (eukaryotic)
Plantae - stationary, photosynthetic (eukaryotic)
Animalia – mobile heterotrophs (eukaryotic)
