1. 6 Kingdoms of all Organisms
Bacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals

2. Bacteria Single-celled No Nucleus Can be Harmful or Helpful
Can only be seen with a microscope

3. Protists Single-celled or Multi-celled
Characteristics of plants, animals and or fungi
Examples are algae, slime mold and amoebas

4. Fungi Single-celled or Multi-Celled Has a Nucleus
Gets nutrition by absorbing nutrients from decomposing organisms – Doesn’t make own food like plants
Ex. Mushrooms
Ex. Athlete’s Foot

5. Animals – Two Main Classes
Vertebrates - Backbone
Invertebrates – No backbone
Mammals
Reptiles
Fish
Amphibians
Birds
Insects
Worms
Lobsters, Shrimp, Crabs
Jellyfish

6. Mammals Give birth to live young (exception:Platypus) Have hair or fur
Nurse babies with milk
Warm-blooded
Tricky Mammals: Bats, Whales and Platypuses

7. Reptiles Cold-Blooded Scales Usually lay eggs
Ex. Snakes, turtles, alligators

8. Fish Live in water Lay eggs Cold-blooded
Use gills to breathe under water

9. Amphibians Cold-Blooded Moist Skin Live on land and water
Ex. Frogs, toads, salamanders, newts

10. Birds Warm-blooded Have feathers and wings
Usually fly (exceptions are penguins and ostriches)
Lay eggs

11. Plants Vascular – tube transport system
Non-vascular – No tube transport system
Use a vein-like or tube structure to suck in water and nutrients
Can be large in size
Can live further away from water source
Ex. Roses, Oak Tree, Ferns
No tube system to transport water
Absorbs water directly from the ground
Must live near water source
Very small in size

12. Invertebrates Do not have a backbone
Ex. Worms, insects, jellyfish, lobsters, shrimp, crab

13. Non Vascular Plants No tubes to carry water or nutrients
Reproduce by using spores
Examples are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
Many species are short and grow close to the ground

14. Vascular Plants and spore reproduction Ferns-They do not have seeds
Vascular Plants and spore reproduction Ferns-They do not have seeds. They use spores to reproduce.

15. Vascular Plants with seed reproduction
Angiosperm-Makes fruits and flowers
Gymnosperm- no fruit or flowers, no seed cover

16. Angiosperm
Makes fruits or flowers
Most plants are angiosperms

17. Gymnosperms Conifers-Pines, spruces, firs

18. Gymnosperms
Cycads
