1. 14.2 The Six Kingdoms

2. Three main characteristics that distinguish the members of each kingdom a. Cellular type (complex or simple) b. Their ability to make food c. The number of cells in their body C. The Six Kingdoms of Organisms

3. What three main characteristics distinguish the members of the six kingdoms? Type of cell Type of cell How they obtain their food How they obtain their food Number of cells Number of cells

4. SIX KINGDOMS ARCHAEBACTERIA (Prokaryotes) ARCHAEBACTERIA (Prokaryotes) EUBACTERIA (Prokaryotes) EUBACTERIA (Prokaryotes) PROTISTS (Eukaryotes) PROTISTS (Eukaryotes) FUNGI (Eukaryotes) FUNGI (Eukaryotes) PLANTS (Eukaryotes) PLANTS (Eukaryotes) ANIMALS (Eukaryotes) ANIMALS (Eukaryotes)

5. Prokaryotic Kingdoms Prokaryotes - organisms with cells that lack a nuclei bounded by a membrane Prokaryotes - organisms with cells that lack a nuclei bounded by a membrane Originally the two bacteria were grouped together in one kingdom called Monera. Originally the two bacteria were grouped together in one kingdom called Monera. Now they are separated into two kingdoms: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria Now they are separated into two kingdoms: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

6. Kingdom Archaebacteria A. Prokaryotic with cell walls made up of uncommon lipids 1. Unicellular 2. Autotrophic or Heterotrophic B. Found in extreme environments 1. Swamps, deep-ocean hydrothermal vents 2. Oxygen free environments Examples: halobacterium, methanogens and thermoacidophiles

7. Kingdom Eubacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae) A. Prokaryotic with cell wall made up of peptidoglycan 1. Unicellular 2. Autotrophic or Heterotrophic B. Most species of bacteria are in this kingdom C. Live in most environments D. Some cause diseases 1. Strep throat and pneumonia E. Most are harmless and many may be helpful

8. Kingdom Protista (slime molds and algae) A. Eukaryotic with a cell wall made of pectin 1. Most are unicellular, some are multicellular with cilia and flagella 2. Lacks complex organ systems 3. Autotrophic and/or Heterotrophic B. Lives in moist environments (pond water) C. Members are very different from one another 1. Some are plantlike (algae) 2. Some are animal-like (protozoa) 3. Some are fungus-like (slime molds)

9. Kingdom Fungi (mushrooms, mold and mildew) A. Eukaryotic with cell walls made of chitin 1. Most are multicellular, some are unicellular 2. External heterotrophs; decomposers

10. Kingdom Plantae (Ferms, Angiosperms) A. Eukaryotic with cell walls made of cellulose 1. All multicellular 2. Autotrophs and photosynthetic 3. No species can move from place to place (nonmotile) B. Second largest kingdom C. Range from tiny mosses to giant trees D. Use of chlorphyll for solar-energy transformation

11. Kingdom Animalia (Invertebrates and Vertebrates) A. Eukaryotic with no cell walls 1. Multicellular with complex cells 2. Heterotrophs with specialized organ systems B. Largest kingdom C. Nearly all are able to move from place to place.

12. Six Kingdoms Summary Kingdoms Archaebacteria and Eubacteria contain only unicellular prokaryotes. Kingdoms Archaebacteria and Eubacteria contain only unicellular prokaryotes.
