Introduction to the Six Kingdoms

Archaeabacteria  Type of cell:  Prokaryotes  Number of Cells:  Unicellular  Structures:  Have cell walls  Food/Energy:  Can be autotroph, chemotroph, or heterotroph:  Chemotroph - makes food from chemicals instead of sun  Reproduction:  Mostly asexual reproduction  Movement:  Passive; no locomotion  Habitat:  Live in extreme environments  Ex: Can live without oxygen

Archaebacteria Members  Examples:  Methanogens  Produce fuel (ex: methane gas)  Halophiles – “salt – lovers”  Thermophiles – “heat- lovers”

Eubacteria  Type of cell:  Prokaryote  Number of cells:  Unicellular  Structures:  Cell wall  Food/Energy:  Heterotrophs, Chemotrophs, and Autotrophs  Reproduction:  Mostly asexual reproduction  Binary fission  Reproduces very quickly  Movement:  Flagella  Habitat:  They can be found everywhere  The more common bacteria

Eubacteria Members  Three main shapes:  Round, Rod, Spiral  Can be:  Harmful  Many cause illness  Ex: TB, strep, tetanus, food poisoning  Helpful  Decomposers (recycling)  Used in making food  Produce fuel  Environmental cleanup E. coli Lactobacillus (used in yogurt) Streptococcus

Protists  The miscellaneous “junk drawer” kingdom  Type of cell:  Eukaryote  Number of cells:  Mostly unicellular; a few multicellular  Structures:  Cell wall and/or chloroplasts in some groups  Food/Energy;  Autotrophs & Heterotrophs  Reproduction:  Mostly asexual reproduction (binary fission)  Locomotion :  Flagella, pseudopod, cilia  Habitat:  Live in moist environments

Protist Members  Plant-like:  Autrotrophs Ex: Euglena, diatoms, & algae  Animal-like:  Heterotrophs  Ex: Amoeba, Paramecium  Fungus-like:  Decomposers  Ex: Slime mold, downy mold

Fungi  Type of Cell:  Eukaryote  Number of Cells:  Mostly Multicellular; One unicellular  Structures:  Cell wall, hyphae, fruiting bodies  Food/Energy:  Heterotrophs & Decomposers  Reproduction:  Mostly sexual reproduction (spores)  Some asexual (budding)  Locomotion:  None  Habitat :  Moist, warm environments  Not direct sunlight

 Mushrooms,  Molds  Yeast (unicellular)  Sac Fungi Fungi Members

Plants  Cell Type:  Eukaryote  Number of Cells:  Multicellular  Cell Structures:  Cell wall, chloroplasts, large vacuole  Food/Energy:  Autotrophs  Reproduction:  Mostly sexual reproduction  Locomotion:  None

Plant Members  300,000 have been found…including trees, flowers, grasses, mosses etc. MossesFernsFlowering PlantsGrassesConifers

Animals  Type of cell:  Eukaryote  Number of cells:  Multicellular  Structures:  No cell walls  Invertebrate & Vertebrate  Food/Energy:  Heterotroph  Reproduction:  Mostly sexual  Some asexual  Movement:  Walk, swim, fly, crawls, etc.  Habitat:  Everywhere

Animal Members  Over a million identified species.  97 percent have no backbone  3% are vertebrates..Mammals,birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish Cnidarians Sponge and coral Worms Mollusks Arthropods
