Transcript The Six Kingdoms

Six Kingdoms
What characteristics
determine how to classify
an organism into a
kingdom?
• How many cells they are made up of
• If those cells have a nucleus
• How they get their nutrition
unicellular
• made up of only one cell
multicellular
• made up of two or more cells
prokaryote
• a unicellular organism whose cell does not
contain a nucleus
eukaryotes
• a living thing whose cells contain a nucleus
eukaryotes
cells with a nucleus
(You carry oats to the horse.)
autotroph
• an organism that is able to make their own
food
heterotroph
• an organism that gets its food by eating other
organisms
bacteria
• unicellular, prokaryotic organisms
protists
• Eukaryotic organisms that are divided into 3
groups:
• plant-like,
• animal-like, and
• fungus-like
fungi
• most are multicellular, one kind is unicellular,
all are eukaryotic, and heterotrophic
plants
• multicellular, eukaryotic, and autotrophic
organisms
animals
• multicellular, eukaryotic, and heterotrophic
organisms
Archaebacteria
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular?
• Do they have a nucleus?
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food?
• Where are they found?
Archaebacteria
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular? unicellular
• Do they have a nucleus? prokaryote
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food? autotrophic/heterotrophic
• Where are they found? They are often found
in extreme conditions, such as hot springs.
Eubacteria
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular?
• Do they have a nucleus?
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food?
• Which is the larger kingdom of bacteria?
Eubacteria
• Eubacteria are unicellular organisms.
• They are prokaryotes.
• Some of them are able to make their own
food, while some of them must take in food-autotrophic/heterotrophic
• This is the larger of the two bacteria
kingdoms.
Protists
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular?
• Do they have a nucleus?
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food?
• Into what groups are they divided?
Protists
• Some protists are single-celled organisms and
some are made of many cells.
• All protists have a nucleus. eukaryotes
• Some of them are able to make their own
food, while some of them must take in food.
• They are divided into three groups-plant-like,
animal-like, and fungus-like.
Fungi
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular?
• Do they have a nucleus?
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food?
• How do they help the Earth?
Fungi
•
•
•
•
Most fungi are made of many cells.
All fungi have a nucleus. eukaryotes
All fungi must take in food.
Fungi are important sources of food and
medicines.
• They help recycle Earth’s wastes.
• The only unicellular fungi are yeast.
Plants
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular?
• Do they have a nucleus?
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food?
• Name one important thing plants provide.
Plants
•
•
•
•
All plants are made of many cells. multicellular
All plants have a nucleus. eukaryotes
All plants make their own food. autotrophs
Plants produce food and oxygen, which are
required by most organisms on Earth.
Animals
• Are organisms in this kingdom unicellular or
multicellular?
• Do they have a nucleus?
• Are they able to make their own food or must
they take in food?
• What do they provide humans with?
Animals
•
•
•
•
All animals are multicellular.
All animals have a nucleus. eukaryote
All animals must take in food. heterotrophs
Animals provide food and companionship in
your daily lives.
plants
• all are multicellular, eukaryotic, and
autotrophic
Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
• unicellular, prokaryotic
animals
• all are multicellular, eukaryotic, and
heterotrophic
fungi
• most are multicellular, one kind is unicellular,
all are eukaryotic, and heterotrophic
protists
• divided into 3 groups: plant-like, animal-like,
and fungus-like (all are eukaryotes)
Eubacteria
• unicellular, prokaryotic
• the larger of the two kingdoms (meaning
there are more of this type)
Archaebacteria
• unicellular, prokaryotic
• Often found in extreme conditions
