It's Time for MORE Classification!

The Organization of Collective Organisms Classified by similar characteristics Cell type, complex or simple Ability to make food, autotroph or heterotroph Number of cells in their body, unicellular or multicellular Classification System: (examples humans and bluebonnet) Domain Eukarya Eukarya

The 3 Domains:

Cell Number Unicellular = one cell Multicellular = more than one cell Examples: Amoebas Bacteria Multicellular = more than one cell Tigers Mrs. Morgensen

Cell Type Prokaryote = cell that lacks membrane-bound organelles Examples: H. pylori E. coli Eukaryote = cell that contains membrane-bound organelles (such as a nucleus, mitochondria, etc.) Diatoms Sponges Bluebonnets

Mode of Nutrition Autotroph = the organism is able to produce its own food Examples: Plants Some protists (Euglena) Some bacteria (Cyanobacteria) Heterotroph = the organism is unable to produce its own food and must obtain it from an outside source Mushrooms Justin Bieber

Characteristics of Kingdom Archaebacteria Nutrition: Either (some are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs) Cell Type: prokaryotes Cell #: Unicellular Reproduction: asexual (binary fission) Cell walls lack peptidoglycan Live in extreme environments Examples: Methanogens Thermaphiles Halophiles

Characteristics of Kingdom Eubacteria Nutrition: either (some are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs) Cell Type: prokaryotes Cell #: unicellular Reproduction: asexual (binary fission) Cell walls contain peptidoglycan Live in normal conditions Examples: E. coli S. aureus S. aureus E. coli

Characteristics of Kingdom Protista Nutrition: either (some are autrophs, some are heterotrophs) Cell Type: Eukaryotic Cell #: either (some are unicellular, some are multicellular) Reproduction: either (some are both!) Live in water! Examples: Diatoms Amoebas Diatoms Amoeba

Characteristics of Kingdom Fungi Nutrition: Heterotrophic Cell Type: Eukaryotic Cell #: either (yeasts are unicellular—most other fungi are multicellular) Reproduction: either Cell walls made of chitin Examples: Bread mold Yeast Mushrooms Mildew

Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae Nutrition: autotrophic Cell Type: Eukaryotic Cell #: multicellular Reproduction: either Cell wall made of cellulose Examples: Bluebonnet Cactus Trees DOH!

Characteristics of Kingdom Animalia Nutrition: heterotroph Cell Type: Eukaryotic Cell #: multicellular Reproduction: sexual NO CELL WALL Examples: Humans Worms Sponges Cats Sponges Ooooohhh… Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Worms
