1. Kingdom Animalia The kingdom Animalia includes all 1.2 million species of animals on earth, 950,000 of which are insects! All animals are made of many cells. Each of those cells has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles, but none are surrounded by a cell wall. All animals must consume food to gain energy, usually by eating plants or other animals. Animals are the most diverse of kingdoms living anywhere where food is available to them.

2. Name some Examples………

3. Kingdom Plantae The kingdom Plantae includes all species of plants on earth. All plants are made of many cells. All plants cells contain a nucleus. All plants cells are surrounded by a cell wall made of the carbohydrate cellulose. All plants gain energy by converting sunlight into food. Plants have adapted to live both on land and in water and fill the role as the major producer for consumers on land.

4. Kingdom Plantae They undergo Photosynthesis Take in sunlight, CO 2 and water. Let out O 2.

5. Kingdom Plantae Examples : Trees flowering plants mosses ferns.

6. Kingdom Fungi The kingdom fungi include molds, mushrooms and other decomposers. Most fungi are made of many cells, but a few species are made of only one cell. All fungi contain cells that have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. All fungi have cells surrounded by a cell wall which is made of the carbohydrate chitin. All fungi consume food to gain energy; usually from dead or decaying organic material. They also live almost everywhere filling the role of decomposers; recycling nutrients back into the food chain.

7. Kingdom Fungi People used to think that mushrooms were plants…but they have clear differences.

8. Kingdom Fungi Fungi are decomposers. They feed by absorbing nutrients from dead or decaying living things. Examples: Mushrooms Molds Yeast

9. Kingdom Protista The kingdom Protista includes unique organisms that for some reason or another do not fit into the other kingdoms, but most of them are called Algae. Most species are made of only one cell while some others are made of many cells. All of their cells contain a nucleus and cellular organelles. Some have cell walls made of the carbohydrate cellulose; while others do not have a cell wall at all. Some species can gain energy by converting sunlight or chemicals to make food while others are must gain energy by consuming food. They live in areas that contain water or have a lot of moisture and contain organisms that have characteristics of fungi, plants and animals.

10. Kingdom Protista These are organisms that can not be classified as plants, animals or fungi. They have the Greatest variety of organisms.

11. Kingdom Protista… Examples : Algae Paramecium Amoeba Some animal-like; Some plant-like; Some fungus-like

12. Kingdom Eubacteria The kingdom Eubacteria includes more modern types of bacteria. Like Archaebacteria they are all made of one cell. Also each cell does not contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. They also have cell walls but they do contain the carbohydrate peptidoglycan. Some species can gain energy by converting sunlight or chemicals to make food while others must gain energy by consuming food. They live almost everywhere; in all habitats and even within organisms like ourselves. Unfortunately many Eubacteria cause disease but many are harmless and some are even helpful such as the Escherichia coli which help us to digest our food. Eu- is pronounced: “You;” and Eu- means “New.” The name refers to the fact that this group of bacteria are modern, or evolved more recently than the other group

13. Kingdom Eubacteria Eu- is pronounced: “You” Eu- means “New” The name refers to the fact that this group of bacteria are modern, or evolved more recently than the other group.

14. Kingdom Eubacteria Eubacteria can be helpful and harmful For example: –E. Coli helps us digest our food –Anthrax is a KILLER

15. Kingdom Archbacteria The kingdom Archeabacteria includes the most ancient organisms on earth. These organisms are all made of one cell. Each cell does not contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. They have very strong cell walls which do not contain the carbohydrate peptidoglycan. Some species can gain energy by converting sunlight or chemicals to make food while others are must gain energy by consuming food. They live in the most extreme environments such as volcanic hot springs and black organic mud which does not contain oxygen.

16. Kingdom Archaebacteria Archae is pronounced “Ahr-kee” Archae means “Ancient” The name refers to the fact that this group contains the oldest organisms on earth. Live in the most extreme environments, such as volcanic hot springs, and black organic mud devoid of oxygen.
