Transcript Monerans and Protist

The Five Kingdoms
Monerans
• Monerans are the oldest, simplest,
most primitive, and most abundant
living thing.
• Most are characterized by not
having a cell wall.
• They have no true nucleus.
Role in the Environment
• Monerans cause decay and food
spoilage, disease in plants, animals
and humans.
Role in the Environment
• Monerans aren’t always bad, in fact
some are used to make cheese and
yogurt from milk products.
Role in the Environment
• Monerans are used to make antibiotics
which are used to treat infections.
Examples of Monerans
• Bacteria
• Blue Green Algae
Bacteria
Bacteria that is most
commonly known for
causing wounds to get
infected
Bacteria
E. Coli
Pink Eye
Strep Throat
What are Protists?
• Protists are single and multicellular
organisms with a nucleus.
• Protist are plant-like, animal-like and
fungi-like.
• All protists live in wet places.
Role in the environment
• Protists cause diseases such as malaria and
dysentery in animals and humans.
• Dysentery- a deadly disease in which causes
severe upset stomach and fever. It is no
longer a problem in the US.
• Malaria- An infectious disease characterized
by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating,
caused by a protozoan of the genus
Plasmodium in red blood. Usually spread
from one human to another by
the mosquito.
Examples of Protists
• Green Algae
• Red Algae
• Brown Algae
• Protozoa
• Slime Molds
• Water Molds
• Mildew
• Amoebas
Red Algae
Slime Mold
Examples of Protists
Water Mold
Protozoa (causes
dysentery)
Amoeba
III. Fungi
• This kingdom is basically made up of
decomposers.
• Fungi feed by absorbing nutrients from
the organic material in which they live.
• Fungi are considered a parasite
because they absorb food from other
living or once living(non-living) things.
• Some fungi cause decay/diseases by
using living organisms for food.
• They can infect plants, animals, and
other fungi.
Role in the Environment
• We eat mushrooms.
• Yeast is used for making bread.
• Medicines to stop infection of organ
transplants, ex: hearts
• Athlete’s foot and ringworm are two
fungal diseases.
• Lichens on trees are a fungus.
IV. Plants
This kingdom may be microscopic in size
and simple in structure such as a onecelled algae or a many-celled
gigantic complex system such as a
tree.
Plants have chloroplasts and cell wall.
IV. Plants
Plants continue to grow as long as they
live.
Plants are fixed in one place, they do
not move
Plants contain chlorophyll.
Plants
• Role in the Environment
– Plants are essential to life and the
balance of nature.
– Green plants make their own food and
give off oxygen in the process called
photosynthesis.
Plants’ Role in the
Environment
– Plants are also used for medicines and
dyes.
– Plants are the ultimate food source for
nearly all animals.

water. Can not
move.
Stinging cell- has
tentacles. Catch
food by stinging
their prey.

stars can regenerate
lost parts.
Soft bodies, live in
the ocean, fresh
water or on land.
