Name six things that you have in common with a slug.
SCIENCE JOLT Date your journal 9/13 Name six things that you have in common with a slug. Name three animals that you think are closely related to a slug.

Classification of Life
3
The 3 Domains (1990s) Eukarya cells that contain a nucleus
Archaea live in extreme conditions – oldest form of life. Single celled Bacteria The “true” bacteria also single celled Eukarya cells that contain a nucleus Kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista
4
Kingdom Archaeabacteria
6 Kingdoms Domain Bacteria Domain Eukarya Domain Archaea Protist Kingdom Fungus Kingdom Plant Kingdom Animal Kingdom Kingdom Archaeabacteria Kingdom Eubacteria The domains Archaea and Eubacteria each make up their own kingdom
5
Protists Single cell organisms. Cells have a defined nucleus Most live in water Move by hairlike structures “cilia” or a whiplike tail “flagella” Can live in colonies
7
Fungi Mold, mildew, mushrooms
Some are very important to ecosystems or as food. Some cause diseases – ringworm, and athlete’s foot Most are multi-cellular organism Decomposers – they absorb their food
9
Plants Second largest kingdom Multi-cellular organisms Autotrophs (make their own food) Without plants life as we know it would not exist.
11
Animals Largest kingdom Multi-cellular Heterotrophs – must eat for energy Over 1 million known species
13
How do we get so many different forms of life!?
ADAPTATIONS A trait that makes a living thing better able to survive in its surroundings.
14
Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection
Adaptations are the result of evolution - a change in species over a long period of time. Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection organism lives longer, breeds more, passes on traits to young Gene mutates mutation helps animal survive
15
Structural Adaptations
16
Behavioral Adaptations
17
think: chemicals, poisons, and enzymes
Functional Adaptations think: chemicals, poisons, and enzymes
18
Structural Adaptation based on diet.
Example: Structural Adaptation based on diet. Carnivore eats animals Herbivore plant eaters Omnivore organisms that eat both plants and animals
19
How does the slug survive?
ADAPTATIONS A trait that makes a living thing better able to survive in its surroundings.
