1. Which of the following is not a kingdom of life?
Primates
Plantae
Protista
Archaebacteria

2. The 6 Kingdoms of Life… what are they?
Animalia
Plantae
Protista
Fungi
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria

3. More discovered every day!
It is estimated that there are…
10 million – 1 billion species of bacteria on Earth
10-30 million species of animals
400,000 species of plant
75,000 species of fungi
65,000 – 200,000 species of protist

4. Characteristics of the 6 Kingdoms of Life

5. Remember! Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells Small & simple
No nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Larger & more complex
Contain a nucleus & membrane-bound organelles

6. Micrograph of plant tissue
Remember!
Unicellular
Multicellular
Paramecium
Micrograph of plant tissue

7. The Prokaryotes Archaebacteria Eubacteria
Cell walls NOT made of peptidoglycan
Unicellular
Some autotroph, some heterotroph
Movement with flagella
Asexual reproduction
Binary Fission
Cell walls made of peptidoglycan
Unicellular
Mostly heterotroph, some autotrophs
Movement with flagella
Asexual reproduction
Binary Fission

8. Archaebacteria Found in harsh environments Examples:
Volcanic vents, acidic hot springs, salty water, etc.
Examples:
Methanogens: produce methane
Thermoacidophiles: like hot and acidic environments
Extreme Halophiles: love salt

9. Eubacteria “True Bacteria” Come in 3 basic shapes:
cocci (spheres)
bacilli (rod shaped)
spirilla (spiral shape)
Aerobic or anaerobic (does or doesn’t need oxygen)
Can be identified by gram staining
Bacteria can be gram negative or gram positive.

10. Staphylococcus aureus
Eubacteria Examples
Staphylococcus aureus
Escherichia coli
Bacillus anthracis

11. Protista - Eukaryotic Cell walls made of cellulose
Most are unicellular, some multicellular
Some autotrophs, some heterotrophs
Reproduce asexually or sexually
Can be found in pond or stagnant water

12. Protista Move with cilia, flagella, & pseudopodia
Amoeba moving with a pseudopod
Paramecium moving with cilia
Euglena moving with flagella

13. Fungi – Eukaryotic Cell walls are made of chitin
Most multicellular, some unicellular
Heterotrophic, mostly saprobes
Live on other dead organisms
Non-motile (no movement)
Reproduce sexually or asexually
Do not contain chlorophyll!

14. Important decomposers & recyclers of nutrients in the environment!
Fungi
Mushrooms
Ringworm
Yeast
Mold
Important decomposers & recyclers of nutrients in the environment!

15. Plantae - Eukaryotic Cell wall made of cellulose Multicellular
Autotrophs
Non-motile (no movement)
Reproduce sexually or asexually
Contain chlorophyll

16. Animalia - Eukaryotic No cell walls Multicellular Heterotrophs
Reproduce sexually
Show levels of organization, including cell, tissue, organ, & body systems.
Cells are specialized for particular functions.
