7. The Six Kingdoms Organisms are classified by: Type of cell
Ability to make food
Number of cells in their body

8. The 6 Kingdoms
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals

9. “Ancient or Old Bacteria”
Archaebacteria
Unicellular
Prokaryotic – no organized nucleus
Autotrophs or heterotrophs
Thermoacidophilethrives in strongly acidic environments at high temperatures
Extreme halophiles –
Thrives in salty environments.
“Ancient or Old Bacteria”

10. Eubacteria “New Bacteria”
Unicellular
Prokaryotic
Autotrophs or heterotrophs
Ex. Staphylococcus and E-coli.

11. Protists –”odds and ends”
Unicellular or multicellular
Autotrophs or heterotrophs
Eukaryotic – organized nucleus
Ex. Amoeba, paramecium, slime molds, euglena, algae.

12. Fungi Most are multicellular Some are unicellular Eukaryotes
Heterotrophs
Feed on dead and decaying organisms
Sessile-cannot move on own.
Ex. Mushrooms, molds, mildew, yeast.

13. Plant Multicellular Eukaryotes Autotrophs Sessile
Ex. Roses, magnolias.

14. Animals Multicellular Eukaryotes Heterotrophs Motile-can move on own
Specialized sense organs
