Highest level of organization in Linnaean Taxonomy kingdoms

KINGDOMS In Linnaean Taxonomy the Kingdom is the largest group into which organisms can be classified Organisms are placed into a Kingdom based upon three criteria: Type of Cell: Prokayotic/Eukaryotic Level of Organization: Unicellular/Multicellular Method of Energy Conversion: Autotroph/Heterotroph 6 KINGDOMS ARCHAEBACTERIA FUNGI EUBACTERIA PLANTAE PROTISTA ANIMALIA

ARCHAEBACTERIA “old-bacteria” Type of Cell Prokaryotic Metabolism Autotrophic (Chemo/Photo) and Heterotrophic Cell Number Unicellular Reproduction Asexual: Binary fission Examples Thermoacidophiles: volcanic vent bacteria, 3 &4 Methanogens: decomposition/digestion, 1 Halophiles: salt loving, 2

EUBACTERIA “True-bacteria” Type of Cell Prokaryotic Metabolism Heterotrophic, some Photosynthetic Autotrophs Cell Number Unicellular Reproduction Asexual: Binary Fission Examples Disease causing bacteria, probiotics, decomposing strep E. coli staph Spirillus: spiral Cocci: round Bacillus: rods

PROTISTA “First-organism” Type of Cell Eukaryotic Metabolism Photosynthetic Autotrophs/ Heterotrophs Cell Number Unicellular/ Multicellular Colonials Reproduction Asexual : Mitosis Examples Algae, seaweed, ‘zooplankton’, ‘phytoplankton’ paramecium volvox amoeba spirogyra plasmodium dinoflagellates euglena

FUNGI “sphongus” Greek for sponge-like Type of Cell Eukaryotic Metabolism Heterotrophic: saprophyte(absorb from decomposition) Cell Number Unicellular/ True Multicellular Reproduction Asexual: mitosis Sexual: gamete union Examples Yeast, molds, mildew, mushrooms, puffballs Penicillium mold toadstools brackett Black mold yeast mushroom puffball

PLANTAE mosses Type of Cell Eukaryotic Metabolism Photosynthetic Autotrophs Cell Number True Multicellular Reproduction Asexual: budding, runners Sexual: meiosis Examples moss, ferns, conifers, flowering mosses ferns conifers flowering

ANIMALIA birds Type of Cell Eukaryotic Metabolism Heterotrophic (consume nutrients) Cell Number Multicellular Colonial / True Multicellular Reproduction Asexual (regeneration) Sexual Examples invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals mammals invertebrates amphibians birds fish reptiles
