1. The Five Kingdoms

2. Monerans Monerans are the oldest, simplest, most primitive, and most abundant living thing. Most are characterized by not having a cell wall. They have no true nucleus.

3. Role in the Environment Monerans cause decay and food spoilage, disease in plants, animals and humans.

4. Role in the Environment Monerans aren’t always bad, in fact some are used to make cheese and yogurt from milk products.

5. Role in the Environment Monerans are used to make antibiotics which are used to treat infections.

6. Examples of Monerans Bacteria Blue Green Algae

7. Bacteria Bacteria that is most commonly known for causing wounds to get infected

8. Bacteria E. Coli Strep Throat Pink Eye

9. What are Protists? Protists are single and multicellular organisms with a nucleus. Protist are plant-like, animal-like and fungi-like. All protists live in wet places.

10. Role in the environment Protists cause diseases such as malaria and dysentery in animals and humans. Dysentery- a deadly disease in which causes severe upset stomach and fever. It is no longer a problem in the US. Malaria- An infectious disease characterized by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating, caused by a protozoan of the genus Plasmodium in red blood. Usually spread from one human to another by the mosquito.

11. Examples of Protists Green Algae Red Algae Brown Algae Protozoa Slime Molds Water Molds Mildew Amoebas Red Algae Slime Mold

12. Examples of Protists Water Mold Protozoa (causes dysentery) Amoeba

13. III. Fungi This kingdom is basically made up of decomposers. Fungi feed by absorbing nutrients from the organic material in which they live. Fungi are considered a parasite because they absorb food from other living or once living(non-living) things.

14. Some fungi cause decay/diseases by using living organisms for food. They can infect plants, animals, and other fungi.

15. Role in the Environment We eat mushrooms. Yeast is used for making bread. Medicines to stop infection of organ transplants, ex: hearts Athlete’s foot and ringworm are two fungal diseases. Lichens on trees are a fungus.

16. IV. Plants This kingdom may be microscopic in size and simple in structure such as a one- celled algae or a many-celled gigantic complex system such as a tree. Plants have chloroplasts and cell wall.

17. IV. Plants Plants continue to grow as long as they live. Plants are fixed in one place, they do not move Plants contain chlorophyll.

18. Plants Role in the Environment –Plants are essential to life and the balance of nature. –Green plants make their own food and give off oxygen in the process called photosynthesis.

19. Plants’ Role in the Environment –Plants are also used for medicines and dyes. –Plants are the ultimate food source for nearly all animals.

21. Examples Vascular Plants Trees such as pine trees, oak trees, and apple trees. Grasses such as Kentucky Blue Grass and bamboo. Flowers such as roses, daffodils, and peonies. Herbs and vegetables such as rosemary, dill, and carrots. Nonvascular Plants Liverwort Mosses Hornwort

22. V. Animals animals are the most __ _complex ____ organism on the ____ planet ________. Animals _____ must eat other organisms to _ _survive _______. animals can not _ make___ their own _ food_____, they do not contain ___ chloroplast______ animals are able to ___ move __around and most have some type of __ sense organs _________. because they have __ sense organs _____ they have a ____ nervous system _________ Animals are classified as __ vertebrates ______ or invertebrates

23. Role in the Environment animals are a source of food. animals are used for recreation and labor. animals are used for clothing.

27. Invertebrates: animals with no _backbone_, about ___97%____ of the animals are invertebrates AnimalSponges/ stinging cells Worms Spiny Skins Mollusk Arthropods Characteristics Sponges-No mouths, stomach or organs, they live in the ocean or fresh water. Can not move. Stinging cell- has tentacles. Catch food by stinging their prey. Flat, round, and segmented worms. Flat worms are parasites living on other organisms. Round and segmented worms eat dead plants and animals. Segmented have special organs Tough skins and spines. Live on the ocean floor. Most have 5 sections and tubed feet. Sea stars can regenerate lost parts. Soft bodies, live in the ocean, fresh water or on land. Have eyes and make shells from water. Some have a shell Jointed feet, 2-3 body segments. Two main body openings, exoskeleton, sense organs. They live almost everywhere on earth. Examples Sponges Jelly fish, Coral, sea anenomes Tape worms, planarians, Earth worms Sea urchin, sand dollar, Sea star Octopus, snails, squid, Crab, lobster, spiders, ticks, insects, grasshoppers, ants Picture.

29. Vertebrates: animals with a __backbone__ Animal Mammals Reptiles Amphibians Fish Birds Charact eristics Warm- __ blooded ___, make __ milk ___ and give __ birth_to live young. Have fur or hair. Have lungs __ and breathe air. __Cold __- blooded, breathe with __ lungs ___, lay _ eggs ___ with shells, some live on ___ land___ while others live in _ water ____ Cold- __ blooded __ begins live in _ water ___ and breathes with _ gills _, later they grow _ lungs _ lay eggs with no shells, moist __ skin _______ Cold _ blooded, have _ scales _, breathes with gills ____, lives in water, lays eggs. Warm- _blooded_, has _feathers___ lays _eggs______ with hard shells Examples Humans, Lizard,Salamander, Picture
