1. CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISMS
THE 6 KINGDOMS

2. What are the 6 Kingdoms? Archaebacteria Bacteria (Eubacteria) Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia

3. Kingdom Bacteria Where are bacteria found?
Members of this kingdom are found in soil, water, and other living things

4. Kingdom Bacteria Prokaryotic
All bacteria are single celled organisms that do not have a nucleus!
What do we call organisms with these characteristics?
Bacteria have cell walls
Prokaryotic

5. Genetic material
Cell Membrane

6. Kingdom Bacteria Bacteria can be one of three main shapes.
Rod-shaped (bacilli)
Spherical-shaped ( cocci)
Spiral-shaped (spirilla)

7. Kingdom Bacteria Reproduce by Binary Fission
one bacteria duplicates its genetic material and then splits into 2 separate cells
the new cell is identical to the parent

8. Kingdom Bacteria Some bacteria reproduce sexually through conjugation
Two parents
Transfers some of its genetic material
Offspring are genetically different from parents

9. Kingdom Bacteria
Different types of bacteria are classified by how they get their food
Autotrophic
Heterotrophic
Decomposers

10. Kingdom Bacteria Some bacteria move with the help of flagellum
Most bacteria cannot move on their own

11. Kingdom Bacteria Roles/Uses 99% of bacteria are helpful to humans
Produce foods such as cheese, apple cider, and sauerkraut
Some can even clean up oil spills and gasoline leaks
Bacteria cause food to spoil
Some are decomposers

12. Can Bacteria Help Us?
Bacteria help us
Digest food
Make vitamin K

13. Kingdom Archaebacteria

14. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Where are archaea found?
Most organisms in this kingdom are found in extreme environments, such as hot springs
Can be found in ponds and swamps
Most archaea prefer environments with little or no oxygen

15. Kingdom Archaebacteria
All archaea are prokaryotic organisms
They reproduce using binary fission

16. Kingdom Archaebacteria
There are 3 main types of archaea
Heat Lovers—live in extremely hot water like that found in ocean vents and hot springs
Salt Lovers-- live in environments with high levels of salt (ex. Dead Sea and Great Salt Lake)
Methane Makers—live in swamps and animal intestines; give off methane gases
