Kingdoms and Domains Section 1.4
2
Learning Goals We are learning the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. We are learning to identify common characteristics between the 6 kingdoms of life.
3
Kingdoms and Domains Linnaeus originally proposed a two kingdom system: plants and animals but since nobody had microscopes, nobody knew about all of the smallest forms of life biologist then discovered prokaryotes and eukaryotes there has been lots of debate as to how to begin classify organisms at the most general level

5
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cont’d…
Eukaryotes Prokaryotes Has membrane bound organelles Has no membrane bound organelles Cellulose based cell wall (where a cell wall is present) Peptidoglycan based cell wall (where a cell wall is present) DNA held on linear chromosomes DNA held on circular chromosomes DNA located within the nucleus DNA contained within the cytoplasm ATP production occurs in mitochondria ATP production occurs in folded regions of the cell membrane called mesosomes Has a nucleus Does not have a nucleus Large ribosomes Small ribosomes Have a phospholipid bi-layer cell membrane May have Flagella there has been lots of debate as to how to begin classify organisms at the most general level
6
Domains of Life a domain is a new taxonomic rank (highest level) which ALL organisms can be classified into three distinct groups: Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes these groups showed significant differences in their genetic makeup, which was very compelling evidence of their distinct evolutionary kinship
7
Domains of Life Cont’d…
Cell Characteristics Other Characteristics Eubacteria prokaryotes unique cell structures, proteins and genetics more ‘primitive’ biochemistry include the traditional bacteria obtain energy in a variety of ways Archaea prokaryotes, though their genes and enzymes behave more like eukaryotes live in extreme and harsh environments (eg. extreme heat) live in anaerobic environments Eukarya eukaryotes can be either unicellular or multicellular can be autotrophs or heterotrophs
8
Kingdoms of Life this places Eubacteria and Archaea in their own kingdoms along with four separate kingdoms of eukaryotes *Note:* the branches of the phylogenetic tree and the distance between shows an estimate of how closely related the groups are
9
Common Characteristics of the six kingdoms of Life
Eubacteria Cell characteristics: Prokaryotic Cells walls contain a unique compound Cells are variable in shape and size Other characteristics: Diverse means of obtaining food and nutrients All can reproduce sexually Escherichia coli
10
Common Characteristics of the six kingdoms of Life
Archaea Cell characteristics: prokaryotic cell walls and cell membranes have a unique structure most are extremely small Other characteristics: some colonize extreme environments live in the digestive tracts of mammals and marine environments all can reproduce asexually extreme thermophiles(organisms that thrive at high temperatures),
11
Common Characteristics of the six kingdoms of Life
Protista Cell characteristics: eukaryotic cells have extreme diversity of cellular structure some have chloroplasts and cell walls Other characteristics: May be heterotrophic or photosynthetic, or both Have variable forms of movement Usually live in aquatic or other moist environments Reproduce sexually and asexually Amoeba
12
Common Characteristics of the six kingdoms of Life
Fungi Cell characteristics: eukaryotic the cell wall is composed of chitin most are multicellular cells have no chloroplasts Other characteristics: all are heterotrophic most are terrestrial reproduce sexually and asexually Mushrooms
13
Common Characteristics of the six kingdoms of Life
Plants Cell characteristics: eukaryotic all are multicellular cell walls are composed of cellulose possess chloroplasts Other characteristics: autotrophic and photosynthetic most are terrestrial reproduce sexually and asexually Conifers
14
Common Characteristics of the six kingdoms of Life
Animals Cell characteristics: eukaryotic all are multicellular cells have no cell walls or chloroplasts Other characteristics: all are heterotrophic most are terrestrial reproduce sexually and asexually Elephants
