1. Six Kingdoms of Life

3. Grouping of Organisms into Kingdoms are Based on 4 Factors
Cell Type
Cell Number
Feeding Type
Method of Reproduction

4. Cell Type Prokaryote No Nucleus No Organelles Cytoplasm Cell Membrane
Small & Simple
Eukaryote
Nucleus
Organelles
Cytoplasm
Cell Membrane
Large & Complex

5. Cell Number Unicellular Organisms made of one cell Multi-cellular
Organisms made of more than one cell

6. Feeding Type Autotroph Hetertroph
Organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis.
Hetertroph
Heterotrophs do not make their own food. They rely on other organisms for food.

7. Method of Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Reproduction involves one parent.
Offspring will be identical to the parent in asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction
Organisms reproduce by combining cells from two different parents. The offspring receives genetic material from both parents

8. Kingdom Archaebacteria “extreme bacteria”
Cellular Type –Prokaryotic
Number of Cells –Unicellular
Feeding Type –Autotrophic or Heterotrophic
Method of Reproduction –Asexual
Habitat –live in extreme habitats such as hot springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine pools, black smokers
Cell wall present

9. Kingdom ArchaebacteriaMorning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park –note the bright colors from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water.

10. Kingdom Eubacteria Cell Type – Prokaryotic
Number of Cells –Unicellular
Feeding Tyoe –Autotrophic or heterotrophic
Method of Reproduction –Asexual
Cell wall present

11. Kingdom Protista “Catch All Kingdom”
Cell Type –Eukaryotic
Cellular Organization –Most unicellular, some mult-icellular
Mode of Nutrition –Autotrophic and heterotrophic
Reproduction –sexual and asexual
Cell Wall present

13. Kingdom Fungi Cell Type –Eukaryotic Number of Cells–Most multicellular
Feeding Type –heterotrophic (decomposers)
Method of Reproduction –sexual and asexual
Cell wall present

15. Kingdom Plantae Cell Type –Eukaryotic Number of Cells –multicellular
Method of Feeding –Autotrophic
Method of Reproduction–Sexual & Asexual

17. Kingdom Animalia Cell Type –Eukaryotic Number of Cells–Multicellular
Method of Feeding–Heterotrophic
Reproduction –Sexual
Cell Wall –none
