1. 6 Kingdoms
Unit 2 - Biodiversity

2. It’s Alive! What qualities distinguish something as “living”? It can….
Grow and develop
Reproduce
Obtain and use materials and energy
Respond to their environment
Change over time
Are based on a universal genetic code
Are made up of units called cells

3. How are these living things organized?
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

4. How are organisms classified at the Kingdom Level?
Number of cells
Unicellular or Multicellular
Mode of Nutrition
Autotrophic or Heterotrophic
Type of cells
Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic
Cell wall structure
Are they there?
If they are what are they made of?

5. Number of Cells Unicellular Multicellular Made up of one cell
Made up of 2 or more cells.

6. Mode of Nutrition Autotrophic Heterotrophic Make their own food/energy
Get energy from other organisms

7. Cell Type Prokaryotic (BACTERIA ONLY!!) Eukaryotic
No nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

8. Cell Walls Peptidoglycan (some bacteria)
Some have cell walls with…
Some don’t have cell walls…
Peptidoglycan (some bacteria)
Cellulose (plants, some protist)
Chitin (fungi)
All Animals
Some protist

9. Kingdom Archabacteria
Prokaryotic
Unicellular
Cell walls without Peptidoglycan
Some autotrophic, some heterotrohpic
Found in harsh, extreme environments

10. Kingdom Eubacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular
Cell walls with Peptidoglycan
Some autotrophic, some heterotrohpic
Found everywhere! (wash your hands!)

11. Kingdom Protista Eukaryotic Unicellular & Multicellular
Some with cell walls with cellulose, some without
Some autotrophic, some heterotrohpic
Mostly aquatic

12. Kingdom Fungi Eukaryotic mostly Multicellular, some unicellular
Cell walls with chitin
Heterotrohpic
Mostly terrestrial

13. Kingdom Plantae Eukaryotic all Multicellular Cell walls with cellulose
Autotrophic
Terrestrial and aquatic

14. Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic all Multicellular No cell walls
Heterotrophic
Terrestrial and aquatic
