1
The Six Kingdoms Living things will fall into one of the following kingdoms: archaebacteria, eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants, animals
2
Archaebacteria Older form of bacteria (archae = ancient)
Unicellular bacteria Found in extreme environments Hot springs Deep thermal vents Think about chemiosynthesis (anaerobic = without oxygen) Obtain energy from inorganic (no carbon) molecules or from the light Examples: Halophiles thermoacidophiles
3
Eubacteria Unicellular bacteria
They have their own kingdom because their chemical make-up is different They can be autotrophs, heterotrophs, or chemotrophs Familiar bacteria (eu- means true) Examples: Streptococci (bacteria for sore throat) Cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria) Saprobs (decomposers)
4
Protist Sometimes referred to as the “odds and ends” because their members are different from one another Unicellular and multicellular organisms They represent the stepping stone between bacteria and plants/animals/fungi Examples: Diatoms chlorophyta (algae) (-phyto = plant) Protozoa sarcodina
5
Fungi Multicellular complex organisms
Decompose the dead matter in the environment (nutrient cycling) Not considered plants because they CANNOT make their own food Examples: Mushrooms Mold mildew
6
Plants Multicellular organisms with complex cells
Autotrophs…make their own food (auto = self troph = feeder) Without plants, like could not exist because they produce oxygen through photosynthesis (photo = light) Examples: flowering plants Mosses ferns
7
Animals Multicellular (multi = many) organism with complex cells
Heterotrophs…they CANNOT make their own food (hetero = different troph = feeder) Primary/Secondary/Tertiary Consumers Herbivores Carnivores Scavengers Omnivores (omni = all) Examples: Tiger Bird snake
