1. 6 Kingdoms of Life

2. All organisms are classified into one of the following 6 kingdoms.
Archaebacteria – bacteria that live in harsh conditions
Eubacteria – bacteria that live in normal conditions
Protista – organisms made of one eukaryotic cell
Fungi – mushrooms and molds
Plantae – all plants including trees, bushes, and flowers
Animalia – all animals including insects

3. The grouping of organisms into KINGDOMS is based on 3 factors:
1. Cell Type
2. Cell Number
3. Feeding Type
Notice these are three of the categories at the top of your chart.

4. 1. Cell Type- The presence or absence of a nucleus.
Prokaryotes (NO nucleus) & Eukaryotes (DO carry a nucleus)

5. 2. Cell number - Whether the organisms exist as single cells or as many cells
Unicellular- single celled organism
Multicellular- many celled organism

6. Unicellular
Multicellular

7. 3. Feeding Type - How the organisms get their food
*Producer (Autotroph)
Makes it’s own food
*Consumer (Heterotroph)
Must eat other organisms to survive

8. As you go through the PowerPoint Fill in the chart with the correct information about each of the 6 kingdoms. Remember for each kingdom your want to find:
Cell Type – Prokaryotic OR Eukaryotic
Cell Number – Unicellular AND/OR Multicellular
Feeding Type – Producer (Autotroph) OR Consumer (Heterotroph)
Some interesting facts about that kingdom

10. First Two Kingdoms
The first two kingdoms involve bacteria. Scientists at one time grouped bacteria into one kingdom but just recently divided them into two groups: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Both groups of bacteria are prokaryotes and unicellular

11. Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria is also called ancient bacteria as they date back 4 billion years
They are found in harsh environments that no other organism lives. We called them “heat-loving” or “salt-loving” or “Methane-loving”
The yellow and orange rings around the hot springs in Yellowstone National Park were formed by the remains of archaebacteria billions of years ago!

12. Eubacteria
It is the eubacteria that most people are talking about when they say bacteria, because they live in more normal conditions like the human body or pond water.

13. Bacterial Locomotion Some bacteria have flagella or cilia for movement
Some secrete a slime layer and ooze over surfaces like slugs

14. Bacterial Feeding
Some bacteria are producers and can photosynthesize like a plant.
Some bacteria are consumers that catch their food

15. We would not have yogurt or cheese if it was not for bacteria
We would not have yogurt or cheese if it was not for bacteria! Cleaning solutions and some medicines are also made from specific types of bacteria. They also are decomposers and help with the nitrogen cycle.
99% of bacteria is helpful and only 1% causes diseases such as tuberculosis and diphtheria.

16. Protists
Protists include many unicellular organisms, like slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae. They also include multicellular organisms such as brown algae.

17. Protists There are animal-like, fungus-like, and plant-like protists
Some are beneficial
Protists are found in lakes and ponds
Some protists can cause diseases in humans, such as:

18. Protists Disease
Amebic dysentery
Ameba histolytica

19. Protists Disease
African Sleeping Sickness
 Trypanosoma

20. Protists Disease Malaria
Malaria kills about one million people every year!
Plasmodium

21. Protists Movement 3 types of movement: Pseudopod (false foot)
Flagella/cilia (hairs)
Contractile vacuoles

22. Protists Feeding Style
Protists can be
producers(autotrophs) or
consumers(heterotroph)

23. Fungi The Kingdom Fungi includes some of the most important organisms.
By breaking down dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems.

24. Fungi All fungi are eukaryotic
They may be unicellular or multicellular
Found in wet areas
Unicellular (yeast)
Multicellular

25. Fungi Fungi can be very helpful and delicious
Penicillin
Fungi can be very helpful and delicious
Many antibacterial drugs are derived from fungi

26. Fungi Fungi also causes a number of plant and animal diseases:
Athlete's Foot

27. Fungi
Ringworm

28. Fungi Movement Fungi are stationary
They have root-like structures that they use for attachment

29. Fungi Feeding All fungi are consumers (heterotrophs)
They absorb nutrients from dead organic matter

30. Plants
All plants are multicellular organisms made of Eukaryotic cells that have a cell wall. They get food through photosynthesis so they are producers (autotrophs).

31. Mosses

32. Liverworts & Hornworts

33. Ferns

34. Conifers (cone bearing)
Gymnosperms
Oldest vascular plants

35. Flowering plants
Angiosperms

36. Animalia
All animals are multicellular and made of the more complex Eukaryotic cells. All are consumers (heterotrophs) that are capable of movement at some point in their lives.

37. Some important animal groups (phyla) are the:

38. Porifera: sponges

39. Cnidarians: Jellyfish, corals, and other stingers
Cnidarians: Jellyfish, corals, and other stingers. . . Their stinger is called a nematocyst

40. Nematocyst

41. Mollusks
Octopi, squid
Clams, oysters
Snails, slugs

42. Platyhelminthes (flat worms)
Tapeworms & flukes
Human liver fluke

43. Annelids (segmented worms)
Worms & leeches

44. Echinoderms
Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers

45. Arthropods
Shell fish, arachnids & BUGS!

46. Chordates
The Chordata is the animal phylum with which everyone is most familiar, since it includes humans and other vertebrates.

47. Now That you are familiar with the
6 Kingdoms of Life, complete your thinking map by putting the title of the kingdom and some illustrated examples of organisms that belong to that kingdom in each box. You can go back through the slides for examples and/or use the following slide.
