1. Review from Monday!
Why is it confusing to refer to an organism by its common name?
What is the genus of the grizzly bear if its scientific name is Ursus arctos?
If two organisms are in the same family, what other taxonomic groups must they also have in common?
Which taxon includes only organisms that can successfully interbreed?

2. Funny Scientific Names!!
Agra vation – Type of beetle
Aha ha – Australian Wasp
Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides – type of fly, longest scientific name in existence
Carmenelectra shechisme (Pronounced “Carmen Electra She Kiss Me) – type of moth

4. Six Kingdom System The six kingdoms are: Plantae Animalia Fungi
Protista
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria

6. The Six Kingdom System: Archaebacteria
Include prokaryotes without membrane bound nuclei
Live in extreme environments without Oxygen
Microscopic
Unicellular
Cell Walls
Autotrophs or Heterotrophs
Oldest fossils are 3.5 Billion years old

7. The Six Kingdom System: Eubacteria
Are prokaryotes that have very strong cell walls
Microscopic
Unicellular
Heterotrophs & Autotrophs
Live in most habitats except extremes where archaebacteria live.
Some cause disease, most are harmless and/or helpful.
Archaebacteria and eubacteria together are called monera and make up the most amount of biodiversity in the world.

8. Bacteria are the most common form of life – there are about 30 nonillion of them! That’s this many:
3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
There are more bacteria in your digestive system then there are on the earth!

9. The Six Kingdom System: Protista
Eukaryotic
Means “very first” meaning they were the first eukaryotes
Lacks complex organ systems
10,000 known species
Lives in moist environments
Oldest fossils are 2 billion years old
Unicellular & Multicellular
Can be plant-like autotrophs, animal-like heterotrophs, or fungus-like heterotrophs.
Very diverse kingdom, a hodgepodge of eukaroytic organisms that did not fit into the other eukaryotic kingdoms.

10. The Six Kingdom System: Fungi
Eukaryotic
Unicellular & Multicellular
Heterotrophs only!
Does not move place to place
Absorbs nutrients from organic materials in the environment
Oldest fossils are 400 million years old
100,000 known species

11. The Six Kingdom System: Plantae
Multicellular only!
Autotrophs, Photosynthetic
Eukaryotes
Do not move place to place
Contain Chloroplasts & Cell Walls made of Cellulose.
Oldest fossils are 400 million years old.
500,000 known species
Have organized tissues that make up organs and organ systems.

12. The Six Kingdom System: Animalia
Multicellular only!
Heterotrophs
Carnivores : meat only
Herbivores : plants only
Omnivores : meat and plants
Eukaryotes
Able to move place to place
Oldest fossils are 600 million years old.
1.5 Million known species (maybe 20x that number unknown)
100 species go extinct everyday
40,000 go extinct per year since 2000, the highest in 65 million years!
200 animal species are endangered in the USA.
1000 endangered worldwide.

13. How do we Classify Organisms?
We can create dichotomous keys – a set of paired statements that describe physical characteristics of different organisms.

14. Classification Puzzle
You will work in groups to fill in a table on domains, the 6 kingdoms, and classification. The table will have lots of missing spaces and you will use the clues from the parts of the table that are filled in to figure out what goes in the blanks. When you finish working as a group, you can copy the answers onto your own worksheet.
