1. Classification of Organisms

2. The Seven Level System  Kingdom  Phylum  Class  Order  Family  Genus  Species  King  Phillip  Called  Oprah  For  Good  Spices

3. Phylum Monera  Kingdom of monera is made up of simple single celled organisms.  Prokaryotic cells  Monerans’ have four Phyla

4. Phyla of Monera  Phylum: Schizophyta- The largest phylum of Monera. Contains organisms commonly known as bacteria  Phylum: Archaebateria- primitive organisms that live in harsh climates  Phylum: Cyanophyta: Organisms known as blue-green bacteria  Phylum:Prochlorophyta: Monera that live in marine environments

5. General Information  5,000 species of monerans have been identified  Bacteria surround us- they are necessary for life but also cause disease  Bacteria is used in many different ways by modern science

6. Uses of bacteria  Cause Decay- Useful in natural recycling  Used in food production- Change the original form of food into the product we eat  Medicine- Species of bacteria are used in the production of antibiotics  Feed for animals- Used in Aquaculture  Water Treatment- convert toxic substances in water into safe substances  Growing Crops- convert nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use

7. Kingdom Protista  Single celled organisms  More complex than Monera  More than 65,000 organisms have been classified into the kingdom Protista  9 Phyla in Kingdom Protista

8. Phyla of Protista  Sarcodina- Have cell membranes that are flexible. Includes Amebas  Ciliophora- These organisms have tiny hairs called cilia to move around.  Zoomastigina- Have a long whip like structure called a flagellum for locomotion.  Sporozoa- Have know means of locomotion they are carried in the bodies of host animals

9. Phyla of Protista  Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta- these are the five phyla of algae, algae are plant like organisms that can make there own food  Colonial algae are groups of algae cells that act as a unit and share functions needed for life

10. How Protists Effect Life  Can cause disease  Used to polish or grind stones  Provide Food  Add Oxygen to water and air
