6 KINGDOMSUnit 2 - Biodiversity

It’s Alive! What qualities distinguish something as

“living”? It can….

Grow and developReproduceObtain and use materials and energyRespond to their environmentChange over timeAre based on a universal genetic code

Are made up of units called cells

How are these living things organized?

Kingdom Phylum

ClassOrder

FamilyGenus

Species

How are organisms classified at the Kingdom Level?

Number of cells Unicellular or Multicellular

Mode of Nutrition Autotrophic or Heterotrophic

Type of cells Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic

Cell wall structure Are they there? If they are what are they made of?

Number of Cells

Made up of one cell Made up of 2 or more cells.

Unicellular Multicellular

Mode of Nutrition

Make their own food/energy

Get energy from other organisms

Autotrophic Heterotrophic

Cell Type

No nucleus or membrane bound organelles

Has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

Prokaryotic (BACTERIA ONLY!!) Eukaryotic

Cell Walls

Peptidoglycan (some bacteria)

Cellulose (plants, some protist)

Chitin (fungi)

All Animals Some protist

Some have cell walls with… Some don’t have cell walls…

Kingdom Archabacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Cell walls without

Peptidoglycan Some

autotrophic, some heterotrohpic

Found in harsh, extreme environments

Kingdom Eubacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Cell walls with

Peptidoglycan Some

autotrophic, some heterotrohpic

Found everywhere! (wash your hands!)

Kingdom Protista Eukaryotic Unicellular &

Multicellular Some with cell

walls with cellulose, some without

Some autotrophic, some heterotrohpic

Mostly aquatic

Kingdom Fungi Eukaryotic mostly

Multicellular, some unicellular

Cell walls with chitin

Heterotrohpic Mostly terrestrial

Kingdom Plantae Eukaryotic all Multicellular Cell walls with

cellulose Autotrophic Terrestrial and

aquatic

Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic all Multicellular No cell walls Heterotrophic Terrestrial and

aquatic

Let’s Review

What are the determinant criteria for Kingdoms? ___________________________

(unicellular vs. multicellular) ___________________________

(prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic) ___________________________

(composition of cell wall vs. no cell wall) ___________________________

(autotrophic vs. heterotrophic)
