KINGDOMS

Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Planate Animalia

PROKARYOTE EUKARYOTE

Kingdom - ARCHAEBACTERIA• Prokaryote (No Nucleus) -No internal membrane

bound organelles• Finding Archaebacteria: The hot springs of Yellowstone

National Park, USA, were among the first places

Archaebacteria were discovered. • Unicellular- single cell• Harsh Environment - found in almost every

environment ( deep sea vent / arctic / hot

springs, salt ponds, etc)• Cell Wall• Chemosynthetic – NO photosythesis • Ancient Ones• Ex. Archae or bacteria

Kingdom - Eubacteria• Prokaryote – NO nucleus (internal membrane

bound structures)• Unicellular – single cell• Cell Wall• Producers & Consumers

– Chemosynthetic (autotroph – NO photosythesis )

– Decomposers• True bacteria• Found in common places

– ( air / intestines /etc...)

• Ex. E. Coli

Bacteria Reproduction

• Bacteria reproduce asexually – (only one parent)

• reproduce through division of a single cell– binary fission

• Can be as fast as twenty minutes, which explains why bacteria can reach such high population densities.

General bacterial Cell

Kingdom Protista

• EUKAROTIC • has NUCLEUS (membrane bound organelles)

• Unicellular and Multicellular• Most are unicellular

• Complex cells• Some Protists have cell walls• Most are Motile ( cilia / flagellum/ pseudopodia)• Mobility (method of movement) is what

usually identify this kingdom• Have both Autotrophs and Heterotrophs• Examples of Protists

• unicellular Protists • Amoebae-(pseudopodia),

• euglena-(flagella), • paramecium- (cilia),

• multicellular Protists • green algae,

• brown algae,

Examples - ProtistsEuglena

Ex. Protists

Kingdom - Fungi

• EUKAROYTE - Nucleus present

• Complex Cells– Have Hyphae

• Cell Wall - made of Chitin

• Heterotroph– NO chloroplast/cholorphyll

• Decomposers - feed off other things

• Reproduce - use spores ( inside hyphae gills)– No sex cells / no eggs or sperm

• Unicellular or Multicellular– Most are multicellular

• Examples - mushrooms / Yeast

Examples - fungi

Kingdom - Plantae

PLANTS

Non-vascular VascularForm spores vascular tissuesEx. Moss

Seedless. Seed bearingspore bearingEx. FERNS

Angiosperm Gymnosperm Flowering Pine trees

Plants

Monocots Dicots

Kingdom - Plantae• EUKARYOTE - NO Nucleus

• Chloroplasts• Chlorophyll• Autotrophs / producers• Cell Wall - made of cellulose• Multicellular - more than one cell• Complex cells w/ tissues & organ• Most have both male and female

reproductive structures

Kingdom Animalia

Kingdom- Animalia• EUKARYOTE- Have a NUCLEUS• Complex Cells• Highly Mobile• Heterotrophs• Lack a Cell Wall• No Chloroplast• Members of the animal kingdom are found in

the most diverse environments in the world. • Animal kingdom is the largest kingdom with

over 1 million known

Kingdom Animalia

Classification - Scientific Names

• Scientific Name ( Homo sapien)• Two parts

– 1st name = Genus (Capitalized)– 2nd name = species (NOT capitalized)

• Written in italics or underlined– Homo sapien or Homo sapien

General Information

– Aristotle – father of classification– Linneaus – Developed our current system– Taxonomy – is classification– Classification minimizes confusion– System provides information– Classify by traits & evolutionary histories
