1. KINGDOMS OF ORGANISMS
Introduction

2. Kingdoms All organisms can be divided into kingdoms of organisms
Organisms are placed into kingdoms based on 3 characteristics:
Type of cell
Form of nutrition
Number of cells

3. Type of Cell Prokaryotic—cells lack a nucleus and organelles
Eukaryotic—cells have a nucleus and organelles

4. Form of Nutrition Autotrophic—these organisms make their own food
Heterotrophic—these organisms can not make their own food

5. Number of Cells Unicellular—these organisms have only one cell
Multicellular—these organisms have more than one cell

6. 6 Kingdom System Kingdom Archaebacteria Kingdom Eubacteria
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Animalia

7. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Prokaryotic cells
Most have cell walls, but some don’t
Unicellular
Some are autotrophic and some are heterotrophic
Contains the bacteria that live in harsh environments like hot springs, volcanic vents or highly salty water; they live where no other organisms can survive

8. Archaebacteria

9. Kingdom Eubacteria
Contains all the other bacteria that are not in the Kingdom Archaebacteria
Prokaryotic cells
Most have cell walls, but some don’t
Unicellular
Some are autotrophic and some are heterotrophic
Some are considered “good” and some are “bad”

10. Eubacteria

11. Kingdom Protista Eukaryotic Some have cell walls, but some don’t
Contain uni- and multicellular organisms
Some are autotrophic and some are heterotrophic
Only characteristic they have in common is they are all eukaryotic

12. Protista

13. Kingdom Fungi Contains mushrooms, yeast, mold and mildew Eukaryotic
Have cell walls made of chitin
Yeast are unicellular; all others are multicellular
Heterotrophic – absorptive

14. Fungi

15. Kingdom Plantae Includes all the plants Eukaryotic
Have cell walls made of cellulose
Multicellular
Autotrophic
Contain chloroplasts

16. Plants

17. Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic No cell walls Multicellular Heterotrophic
Only Kingdom with NO cell walls

18. Animalia
