HAPPY WEDNESDAY Bellwork: Write “Finish coloring Kingdom Chart”. Prokaryote vs Eukaryote: Color eukaryotic boxes blue Color prokaryotic boxes yellow. Unicellular vs Multicellular: Color unicellular boxes purple Color multicellular boxes orange Color the both boxes half purple and half orange. Autotroph or Heterotroph: Color heterotrophic boxes red Color autotrophic boxes green Color the both boxes half red and half green. Cell Wall: Color the yes boxes grey Color the no boxes light blue Color the both boxes half grey and half light blue.

Essential Question: How would you determine what kingdom an organism belongs to? Standard: compare the characteristics of taxonomic groups including plantae and animalia (B8C)

Pull out a sheet of paper, number from 1-10, and title it, “Six Kingdoms Quiz”.

In the near future, humans were able to identify and travel to another planet that contained life. Interestingly, the organisms discovered on that planet had characteristics similar to life found on Earth. For that reason, scientists decided to use the current classification system to classify them. Help scientists classify these organisms into their correct kingdoms.

1. This organism (although it has a mouth) was found to digest its food outside of its body (by vomiting on it). It would then absorb the digested food into its gelatinous belly. When its cells were examined, scientists found cell walls made of chitin. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

This little guy (about an inch tall) was discovered to have cells that photosynthesize. (Scientists hypothesize that the mouth is only used to deter predators in a form of mimicry.) Interestingly, scientists noted that its cells do not have cell walls. 2. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

This little guy is a single-celled, microscopic organism that has no nucleus. After performing a Gram stain, scientists determined that it has cell walls made of peptidoglycan. 3. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

This multicellular monster is comprised of cells with no cell walls, and it actually ate the scientist who discovered that! 4. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

This microscopic little bugger is unicellular with no cell walls. 5. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

The cell walls of this lumbering beast were determined to be composed of chitin. 6. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

Scientists determined that these unicellular organisms (pictured in green attached to the hair of a larger organism) photosynthesize, have no nucleus, and have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan. 7. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

Although menacing in appearance, this multicellular monstrosity was found to be entirely autotrophic. (The scientist stuck in its back happened purely by accident!) Under closer examination, its cells appeared to be surrounded by cell walls made of cellulose. 8. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

This prickly character was discovered to be composed of a single spike-shaped, eukaryotic cell. Surprisingly, its cell was surrounded by cell walls that were not made of chitin. It was also seen ingesting (eating) small bits of food from the surrounding environment. 9. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

This unicellular, photosynthetic organism contains no nucleus and has cell walls containing peptidoglycan. 10. Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia
