1. Major Characteristics of the Six Kingdoms

2. Six Kingdoms Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

3. Archaebacteria Cell Type: Prokaryotes Prokaryotes – no bound organelles, “pro” means first

4. Eubacteria Cell Type: Prokaryotes

5. Protista Cell Type: Eukaryotes

6. Fungi Cell Type: Eukaryotes

7. Plantae Cell Type: Eukaryotes

8. Animalia Cell Type: Eukaryotes

9. Archaebacteria Cell Structures: No nucleus, no membrane bound structures Cell membrane contains lipid not found in other organisms

10. Eubacteria Cell Structure: No nucleus Have cells walls made up of peptidoglycan

11. Protista Cell Structures: Cell membrane Well defined nucleus Membrane bound organelles

12. Fungi Cell Structures: Have a nucleus and mitochondria No chloroplasts Cell wall of chitin

13. Plantae Cell Structures: Nucleus Cell membrane Cell wall Chloroplasts

14. Animalia Cell Structures: Nucleus Cell membrane No cell wall No chloroplasts

15. Archaebacteria Body Form: Unicellular

16. Eubacteria Body Form: Unicellular Colonies (groups)

17. Protista Body Form: Mostly unicellular Some multicellular (colonies)

18. Fungi Body Form: Unicellular Multicellular

19. Plantae Body Form: Multicellular

20. Animalia Body Forms: Multicellular

21. Archaebacteria Nutrition: Autotrophic – Chemosynthetic

22. Eubacteria Nutrition: Autotrophic Heterotrophic

23. Protista Nutrition: Autotrophic Heterotrophic –Symbiotic (living together and one is benefiting)

24. Fungi Nutrition: Heterotrophic – Decomposers – Symbiotic

25. Plantae Nutrition: Autotrophic – Photosynthetic

26. Animalia Nutrition: Heterotrophic

27. Archaebacteria Special Adaptations: Methanogens Halophiles Thermophiles Chemosynthetic

28. Eubacteria Special Adaptations: Nitrogen fixing Found in most habitats Aerobic or anaerobic types Conjugation

29. Protista Special Adaptations: Fungi-like molds and mildews Plant-like algae with alternation of generations (spores vs. gametes) Animal-like protozoans, some with pseudopodia, conjugation, cysts, or spores

30. Fungi Special Adaptations: Most reproduce with spores (sexually or asexually) Extracellular digestion Feeding relationships

31. Plantae Special Adaptations: In most habitats Sexual reproduction (spores or seeds) Alternation of generations Photosynthetic Roots/stems/leaves/ cuticle

32. Animalia Special Adaptations: Find or capture food Fat for food storage Specialized cells Adapted to environment

33. Archaebacteria Examples: Methanogens Halophiles Thermophiles

34. Eubacteria Examples: Rhizobium E. coli Salmonella

35. Protista Examples: Euglena Amoeba Volvox Paramecium Diatoms

36. Fungi Examples: Yeasts Molds Mushrooms Lichens Penicillium

37. Plantae Examples: Mosses Ferns Flowering plants Seaweeds Trees

38. Animalia Examples: Gemsbok Dogs Cats Humans
