1. 6 Kingdoms:
Characteristics

2. The Science of Classification:
The scientific study of how things are classified is called taxonomy .
Biologists use classification to organize living things into groups so that the organisms are easier to study.

4. Major Levels of Classification:
Most biologists today classify organisms into 8 levels.
First, an organism is placed in a broad group, which is then divided into more specific groups.
The more classification levels two organisms share, the more characteristics they have in common.

6. Domain

7. Organisms are placed into domains & kingdoms based on:
their cell type
their ability to make food
the number of cells in their body.

8. Domains There are THREE domains. The domains include: Bacteria Archaea
Eukarya

9. Within the (3) domains, there are SIX kingdoms.1. 2. 3. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1.
Eubacteria
(kingdom) 2.
Archaebacteria
(kingdom)

10. What did you notice?? There are TWO bacteria domains.
Each bacteria domain has ONLY ONE kingdom.
There are FOUR kingdoms that make up Domain Eukarya.
Eukarya…. Is similar to Eukaryote or Eukaryotic, which means that the cells DO contain a nucleus.

11. Kingdom Archaebacteria:
Domain- Archaea
Unicellular- Bodies are one cell big.
Prokaryotes - No nucleus
Both Autotrophs & Heterotrophs
Autotrophs- Makes own food
Heterotrophs- Does not make own food
Live in very harsh environments-the harshest in the world!(swamps, hot springs, ocean-very salty water-cow intestines, etc.)

12. Archaebacteria Continued…
Archaea comes from the Greek word for “ancient”
Scientists think that the harsh conditions in which archaea live are similar to those of ancient earth.
So, why are there 2 domains &
kingdoms of bacteria?
Archaea are classified into a different domain because their structure and chemical make up is much different from that of bacteria.

15. Kingdom Eubacteria: Domain=Bacteria Unicellular
Prokaryotes - No nucleus
BOTH Autotrophs & Heterotrophs
Known as “True Bacteria”
It is everywhere, inside & outside of your body. Some is good for you, while others are harmful.
Basic three types:
Round
Spiral
rod-shaped

16. Round

17. Spiral

18. Rod

19. Kingdom Protista: Domain= Eukarya Mostly Unicellular
Eukaryotes- Cells a have nucleus and organelles
Both Autotrophs & Heterotrophs

24. Kingdom Fungi: Domain=Eukarya Mostly multi-cellular
Eukaryotes- have a nucleus
Heterotrophs

26. Mold

29. Kingdom Plantae: Domain=Eukarya Multicellular
Eukaryotes- Have a nucleus
Autotrophs (most go through photosynthesis)

34. Kingdom Animalia: Domain=Eukarya Multi-cellular
Eukaryotes- Have a nucleus
Heterotrophs
