Vocabulary Autotrophic – makes its own food Autotrophic – makes its own food Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it consumes Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it consumes
5
List of the Three Domains and the Six Kingdoms 1. Domain Bacteria –Kingdom Eubacteria 2. Domain Archaea –Kingdom Archaebacteria 3. Domain Eukarya –Kingdom Protista –Kingdom Fungi –Kingdom Plantae –Kingdom Animalia
6
Kingdom Eubacteria Bacteria can live in many places on earth, inhabiting a wide variety of habitats, including other organisms Bacteria can live in many places on earth, inhabiting a wide variety of habitats, including other organisms Unicellular Unicellular Prokaryotic Prokaryotic Autotrophic or heterotrophic Autotrophic or heterotrophic Reproduce asexually Reproduce asexually
7
Kingdom Eubacteria Bacteria come in different shapes, such as round, spiral and rod-shaped. Bacteria come in different shapes, such as round, spiral and rod-shaped.
8
Kingdom Eubacteria Harmful effects Bacteria can cause a wide variety of diseases, such as strep throat, food poisoning and the Black Death (bubonic plague of the Middle Ages) Bacteria can cause a wide variety of diseases, such as strep throat, food poisoning and the Black Death (bubonic plague of the Middle Ages)
9
Kingdom Eubacteria Benefits Bacteria also play an important role in decomposition, nitrogen fixation and human digestion (E. coli) Bacteria also play an important role in decomposition, nitrogen fixation and human digestion (E. coli) Soybean root containing billions of bacteria
10
Kingdom Eubacteria Procholorococcus – an autotrophic bacterium – What does that mean about how it gets its nutrients? Procholorococcus – an autotrophic bacterium – What does that mean about how it gets its nutrients?
11
Kingdom Eubacteria Bacteria from an Nitrifying Trickle Filter (NTF) stained with acridene orange. The stain makes DNA appear yellow and RNA appear orange. Bacteria from an Nitrifying Trickle Filter (NTF) stained with acridene orange. The stain makes DNA appear yellow and RNA appear orange.
12
Kingdom Archaebacteria Bacteria that live in extreme habitats, such as hot springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine pools, black smokers Bacteria that live in extreme habitats, such as hot springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine pools, black smokers Unicellular Unicellular Prokaryotic Prokaryotic Autotrophic or heterotrophic Autotrophic or heterotrophic Reproduce asexually Reproduce asexually
13
Kingdom Archaebacteria Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park – note the bright colors from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water.
14
Kingdom Archaebacteria Some like it hot! Bacillus infernus Some like it hot! Bacillus infernus
15
Kingdom Archaebacteria Archaebacteria can live deep in the ocean near geothermal vents called black smokers Archaebacteria can live deep in the ocean near geothermal vents called black smokers There is no light, so they carry out chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis There is no light, so they carry out chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis
16
Benefits They may be able to be used to break down chemical wastes They may be able to be used to break down chemical wastes
17
Kingdom Protista Extremely diverse group Extremely diverse group Eukaryotic Eukaryotic Most unicellular, some colonial, some multicellular Most unicellular, some colonial, some multicellular Autotrophic and heterotrophic Autotrophic and heterotrophic Reproduce sexually or asexually Reproduce sexually or asexually
18
Benefits of Protists Used for food. Seaweed is a big one! Used for food. Seaweed is a big one! Harmful effects Harmful effects Can cause diseases like malaria Can cause diseases like malaria
19
Kingdom Protista Volvox – a colonial protist Euglena - autotrophic A slime mold Amoeba - heterotrophic
20
Kingdom Fungi Eukaryotic Eukaryotic Most are multicellular Most are multicellular Heterotrophic (decomposers) Heterotrophic (decomposers) Can reproduce sexually and asexually Can reproduce sexually and asexually
21
Benefits of Fungus Benefits of Fungus Are used for food such as bread, blue cheese, mushrooms Are used for food such as bread, blue cheese, mushrooms Used in medicine like penicillin Used in medicine like penicillin Harmful effects Harmful effects Molds foods Molds foods Can cause Athletes foot, Thrush, and lung Can cause Athletes foot, Thrush, and lung infections in sick patients infections in sick patients
22
Kingdom Fungi Stilton cheese Bread mold
23
Kingdom Plantae Eukaryotic Eukaryotic Multicellular Multicellular Autotrophic Autotrophic Reproduce sexually and asexually Reproduce sexually and asexually
