Transcript Presentation - Six Kingdoms and Trophic Pyramids
Description:
Spark student interest using ‘gross’ pictures and
a variety of life and different roles and
characteristics of kingdoms of life.
Goals:
Describe the Concept of the Trophic Levels
Objectives: Day 1
•List the 6 Kingdoms.
•Describe each kingdom.
•Explain what an Energy Pyramid represents.
Warm-Up
Q=
1. What are the different types of organisms in
the world? (general not specific)?
2. Can microbes be both beneficial and
dangerous?
A=
1. Bacteria (Eu- & Archea-), Protist, Fungi,
Plants, Animals
2. Yes… but the dangerous one get all the
attention. Lets see why - Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Mucormycosis fungus
in the eye
This fungus lives in the
soil and in rotting
vegetation!
Blastomycosis
Fungal
infection
Eats away the
tissue of the
victim!
Blastomycosis
Caused by this Fungus (a type of yeast)
Advanced Flesh Eating
Bacteria
Necrotizing fasciitis (aka flesh eating bacteria)
6 Kingdoms
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
Fungi
Plants
Animals
Protists
(“True-bacteria”)
(“Ancient-bacteria”)
Which of these kingdoms are microbes?
Eubacteria
Simple-single cell Organisms
Help to maintain cycles of matter in the
environment.
Most bacteria are in this Kingdom
In the soil, on plants and animals (inside and
out), in the air, EVERYWHERE!
Many are helpful to people:
E. coli (live in our intestines)
B. regularis (used in making yogurt)
Some are Harmful to people:
Streptococci (causes “strep throat”)
Archaebacteria
Live in extreme places
Hot springs (boiling water!)
Low / No oxygen areas
High Acidity
Simple Single celled organism
Multicelled complex organism
Examples:
Fungi
Mold
Mildew
Mushrooms
Break down dead organisms
Often look like plants
Unlike plants they CANNOT make their
own food (no photosynthesis)
Obtain food from breaking down (decaying)
Soil, plants, animals. (decomposer)
Plants
Multicelled organisms that produce their own
food (producers)
Over 250,00 thousand species
ranging from:
Flowering Plants
Tiny Mosses
Giant Trees
Life could not exist without plants!
Provide Oxygen
Provide Food (transfers energy from sun to
herbivores)
Largest Kingdom
Animals
over 1 million known species!
Multi-celled organisms found in very
diverse (different) locations
Keep populations in check and allow for
complex organisms.
Depend on plants and other animals for
survival (can’t make their own food)
Primary consumer (herbivores)
Secondary & Top consumers (carnivores,
omnivores)
Scavengers
“Odds and Ends” Kingdom
Protists
Organisms can be VERY different from each
other.
Single cell and multi-celled organism
Protozoan (single celled)
Algae (multi-celled and single-celled)
Most are single celled organism
Not in the bacteria kingdoms because they are
complex cells!
Basic Energy Pyramid
Secondary
Consumers
Primary
Consumers
Primary
Producers
Carnivores
Herbivores
Autotrophs
6 Kingdoms of Living
Organisms
Complete the Six Kingdoms Chart.
Objectives: Day 1
•List the 6 Kingdoms.
•Describe each kingdom.
•Explain what an Energy Pyramid represents.
