3. All living organisms are divided into five kingdoms

4. Origin  First known classification: Aristotle (384 -322 B.C):  Modified by Linnaeus (1707-1778): 3 kingdoms: animalia, vegetabilia and mineralia.  Robert. H. Whittaker classified living organisms into five kingdoms in 1969: 1. Monera (prokaryotic organisms) 2. Protista (primitive eukaryotic organisms) 3. Mycota or fungi (exclusively fungi) 4. Metaphyta, plantae or plants (advanced eukaryotic plants) 5. Metazoa, animalia or animals (all multicellular animals

5. Examples

6. small, simple single prokaryotic cell nucleus is not enclosed by a membrane STRUCTURE absorb food and/or photosynthesize NUTRITION bacteria blue-green algae TYPES OF ORGANISMS Monera

7. Protista Most are eukaryotic one-celled Cells have a membrane around the nucleus STRUCTURE absorb ingest and/or photosynthesize NUTRITION protozoans algae TYPES OF ORGANISMS

8. Fungi multicellular filamentous forms with specialized eukaryotic cells STRUCTURE absorb food NUTRITION mushrooms, yeasts molds lichens TYPES OF ORGANISMS

9. Plantae multicellular forms with specialized eukaryotic cells STRUCTURE photosynthesize food NUTRITION mosses ferns All types of plants TYPES OF ORGANISMS

10. Animalia multicellular filamentous forms with specialized eukaryotic cells They move by themselves STRUCTURE ingest food NUTRITION Sponges worms Insectsfish amphibiansreptiles birdsmammals TYPES OF ORGANISMS
