The 7 Levels of
Classification
And
the Six kingdoms
King Phyl
Aristotle 300’s BC
• Classified
organisms three
ways;
• Things that fly
• Things that swim
• Things that walk,
crawl and run.
King Phyl
Carolus Linnaeus – 1750’s
• Used observations for
the basis of his
system.
• Observable features.
• Came up with a
naming system called
binomial
nomenclature (2 part
name)
• Used Latin, the
language of
scientists, species
and genus.

The Six Kingdoms
Organisms are
classified by:
• Type of cell
• Ability to make
food
• Number of cells in
their body
The 6 Kingdoms
•

•
•
•
•
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals
Archaebacteria
• Unicellular
• Prokaryotic – no
organized
nucleus
• Autotrophs or
heterotrophs
• Thermoacidophile
thrives in strongly
acidic environments
at high temperatures
• Extreme halophiles –
Thrives in salty
environments.
“Ancient or Old
Bacteria”
Eubacteria “New Bacteria”
• Unicellular
• Prokaryotic
• Autotrophs or
heterotrophs
• Ex.
Staphylococc
us and E-coli.
Protists –”odds and ends”
• Unicellular or
multicellular
• Autotrophs or
heterotrophs
• Eukaryotic –
organized
nucleus
• Ex. Amoeba,
paramecium,
slime molds,
euglena, algae.
Fungi
•
•
•
•
•
Most are multicellular
Some are unicellular
Eukaryotes
Heterotrophs
Feed on dead and
decaying organisms
• Sessile-cannot move
on own.
• Ex. Mushrooms,
molds, mildew, yeast.
Plant
• Multicellular
• Eukaryotes
• Autotrophs
• Sessile
• Ex. Roses,
magnolias.
Animals
•
•
•
•
Multicellular
Eukaryotes
Heterotrophs
Motile-can
move on own
• Specialized
sense organs
So… to remember the
kingdoms in correct order…..
