KINGDOMS AND DOMAINS
The tree of life shows our most current understanding. New discoveries can lead to changes in classification. - Until 1866: only two kingdoms, Animalia and Plantae - Until 1866: only two kingdoms, Animalia and Plantae Classification is always a work in progress. –1938: prokaryotes moved to kingdom Monera –1866: all single-celled organisms moved to kingdom Protista –1959: fungi moved to own kingdom –1977: kingdom Monera split into kingdoms Bacteria and Archaea Animalia Protista Fungi Plantae Archea Bacteria
The Three Domains in the Tree of Life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Domains are above the kingdom level. proposed by Carl Woese based on rRNA studies of prokaryotes domain model more clearly shows prokaryotic diversity
The Six Kingdoms
Bacteria ProkaryoteUnicellular Both autotrophic and heterotrophic
Thermophiles (like heat) Halophiles (like salt/sulfur) Archaebacteria
Eubacteria Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus aureus Treponema pallidumcholera (syphilis) Escherichia coli
Protist Eukaryotes Most are unicellular Heterotrophs that ingest small food particles & digest it inside food vacuoles containing digestive enzymes Classified by the way they move (cilia, flagella, pseudopodia...)
Amoeba Euglena Rotifer Algae Volvox Spyrgyra
Fungi Eukaryotes Most are Multicellular Heterotroph
Mold Yeast Ringworm Mushrooms
Plant Multi-cellular Eukaryote Contain chlorophyll inside of chloroplasts Cell wall made of cellulose Autotrophs or producers All plants reproduce sexually
Animal All multi-cellular Eukaryotes - cells contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles Cells lack cell walls Heterotrophs (take in food & internally digest it) Show levels of organization including cell, tissue, organ, & system Cells are specialized for particular functions
Using your response board, write down the correct kingdom according to the characteristics or illustration. Are you ready?
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote, heterotroph, multicellular
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote, heterotroph, most are multicellular
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote, multicellular, autotroph
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Prokaryote, unicellular
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote, most are unicellular, heterotroph
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote,, heterotroph
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Prokaryote, unicellular
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote, multicellular, heterotroph
Which Kingdom do I belong to? Eukaryote, most are unicellular, heterotroph
Domain Bacteria includes prokaryotes in the kingdom Bacteria. one of largest groups on Earth classified by shape, need for oxygen, and diseases caused
known for living in extreme environments Domain Archaea includes prokaryotes in the kingdom Archaea. cell walls chemically different from bacteria differences discovered by studying RNA
Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes kingdom Protista kingdom Plantae
Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes kingdom Fungi kingdom Animalia
Bacteria and archaea can be difficult to classify. transfer genes among themselves outside of reproduction blurs the line between “species” more research needed to understand prokaryotes bridge to transfer DNA
