Any living thing made of cells. 6 Kingdoms of Organisms Any living thing made of cells.

Plantae Autotrophs- can make their own food using sunlight energy Multicellular Contain chlorophyll which makes them green Have cell walls Photosynthesize Eukaryotic- have a nucleus

Plants

Plants Evergreens Venus Fly Trap

Plants Apple tree- flowering plants

Animalia Multicellular Heterotrophs-can’t make their own food Have a nervous system, or brain No cell walls Eukaryotic- have a nucleus

Animals

Animals

Protista Most are unicellular- you need a microscope to see them Junk kingdom, contains many organisms that don’t quite fit anywhere else Contains algae which are multicellular Heterotrophs Eukaryotic- have a nucleus Usually found in pond water

Protist Paramecium

Protist Amoeba

Protist Euglena- why is this a protist and not a plant?

Protist Diatoms Giardia

Protist Red Algae Green Algae

Fungi Multicellular Heterotrophs Decomposers- break down dead material Eukaryote- have a nucleus Mushrooms, Yeasts, and Molds Has hyphae which acts like roots under the ground

Fungi

Fungi Mushrooms- basidiomycota

Fungi Molds

Fungi Yeast Cordyceps This carpenter ant (genus Campanotus), and the bullet ant in the first film clip below (Paraponera clavata), have fallen victim to parasitic fungi of the genus Cordyceps, which manipulate the behaviour of their host in order to increase their own chances of reproducing. The spores of the fungus attach themselves to the external surface of the ant, where they germinate. They then enter the ant's body through the tracheae (the tubes through which insects breathe), via holes in the exoskeleton called spiracles. Fine fungal filaments called mycelia then start to grow inside the ant's body cavity, absorbing the host's soft tissues but avoiding its vital organs. When the fungus is ready to sporulate, the mycelia grow into the ant's brain. The fungus then produces chemicals which act on the host's brain and alter its perception of pheromones. This causes the ant to climb a plant and, upon reaching the top, to clamp its mandibles around a leaf or leaf stem, thus securing it firmly to what will be its final resting place. The fungus then devours the ant's brain, killing the host. The fruiting bodies of the fungus sprout from the ant's head, through gaps in the joints of the exoskeleton. Once mature, the fruiting bodies burst, releasing clusters of capsules into the air. These in turn explode on their descent, spreading airborne spores over the surrounding area. These spores then infect other ants, completing the life cycle of the fungus. Depending on the type of fungus and the number of infecting spores, death of an infected insect takes between 4-10 days.

Fungi Truffles

Fungi Morels

Eubacteria All are unicellular Prokaryote- do not have a true nucleus, just a naked piece of DNA Most are heterotrophs Contains the bacteria that makes us sick E. coli, Streptococci etc.

Eubacteria

Eubacteria Escheria coli (E. coli)

Eukaryote Staphylococci

Eubacteria Salmonella- causes food poisoning

Archaebacteria All are unicellular Prokaryote- do not have a true nucleus, just a naked piece of DNA Most are heterotrophs Oldest living organsims on earth (SURVIVORS) Live where other living things can’t (Hot pots, Great Salt Lake, bottom of ocean)

Archaebacteria Methanogens- live in digestive tracts of animals and humans, produce methane gas

Archaebacteria Thermophiles –love hot places

Archaebacteria Halophiles- loves salty environments

Archaebacteria Live on the bottom of the ocean floor with absolutely no light
