1
The 6 Kingdoms SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION Life Science
2
Questions What do we mean by the word, “classify”? What do you classify in your life? Why do you classify objects or concepts in your life?
3
The grouping of organisms into KINGDOMS is based on 3 factors: 1. Cell Type (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) 2. Cell Number (unicellular or multicellular) 3. Feeding Type (autotroph or heterotroph)
4
1. Cell Type- The presence or absence of cellular structures such as the nucleus, mitochondria, or a cell wall Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes
5
Prokaryotes – Bacteria! DO NOT HAVE : An organized nucleus Structured organelles
6
Prokaryotes – Typical Bacteria Basic Structure DNA – strands floating in cytoplasm/small rings called plasmids Ribosomes - RNA/protein synthesis sites Cytoplasm -water based Cell membrane & Wall
7
Eukaryotes DO HAVE: Nucleus organized with a membrane other organelles
8
2 nd criteria for Kingdom Divisions: Cell Number Cell Number Unicellular- single celled organism – protozoans, bacteria, some algae Multicellular- many celled organism – cells start to specialize/differentiate
9
Unicellular Multicellular
10
3 rd Criteria for Kingdom Divisions Feeding Type - How the organisms get their food –Autotroph or Producer Make their own food –Heterotroph or Consumer Must eat other organisms to survive Includes decomposers – those that eat dead matter!
11
There used to be only 5 kingdoms 1.Moneran 2.Protista 3.Fungi 4.Plantae 5.Animalia This kingdom has now been divided into 2 – archaebacteria & eubacteria
12

14
Aristotle’s Classification System Aristotle 4th century BC (384 to322 BC) *Greek philosopher * divided organisms into 2 groups - plants and animals *divided animals into blood and bloodless *also divided animals into 3 groups according to how they moved - walking, flying, or swimming (land, air, or water) *his system was used into the 1600's
15
Linnaeus’ Classification System 18th century Swedish scientist classified plants and animals according to similarities in form divided living things into one of two "kingdoms" - plant and animal kingdoms divided each of the kingdoms into smaller groups called "genera" (plural of "genus") divided each genera into smaller groups called "species" designed a system of naming organisms called binomial ("two names") nomenclature
16
Archaebacteria Ancient bacteria- Live in very harsh environments extremophiles
17
Eubacteria Common bacteria that lives in more friendly areas
18
Bacterial Shapes Bacteria come in 3 main shapes Rod or Stick (bacilli) Sphere (cocci) Helical or spiral (borrelia)
19
Bacterial Locomotion Some bacteria have flagella or cilia for movement Some secrete a slime layer and ooze over surfaces like slugs
20
Protists Amoeba PARAMECIUM
21
Protist’sTraits unicellular Have an organized nucleus No cell wall Can move by means of pseudopods (False Feet), Cilia (hair-like structures), or Flagella (tails)
22
Protists Some Protists are Beneficial to People Diatoms are used in filters, toothpastes, insulation, and metal polishes and produce oxygen into the atmosphere Red Algae is used as a thickener (agar)in food and to prevent separation (carageenan)in food mixtures
23
Protists Some Protists are Harmful to People Dinoflagellates release toxins into water and the shellfish that eat them which can cause illness to humans and death to fish Some are parasites that cause damage to plants and people Some cause disease such as African Sleeping Sickness, and Malaria
24
Fungi All fungi are eukaryotic They may be unicellular or multicellular All fungi have a cell wall Unicellular (yeast) Multicellular
25
Fungi Fungi can be very helpful and delicious Many antibacterial drugs are derived from fungi Penicillin
26
Fungi Fungi also causes a number of plant and animal diseases: Athlete's Foot
27
Fungi Ringworm
28
Fungi Nutrition All fungi are heterotrophs - Saprophytes- get their nutrients from dead organic matter - Saprophytes- get their nutrients from dead organic matter - Mutualists – live symbiotically - Parasites – absorb from a host, eventually killing the host
29
Plants Nonvascular Vascular
30
4 important plant groups are the: Mosses (Bryophytes) Ferns (Pteridophytes) Conifers (Gymnosperms) Flowering Plants (Angiosperms) Non-vascular Vascular
31
Nonvascular Plants - Mosses the simplest of all land dwelling plants lack an internal means for water transportation do not produce seeds or flowers -fertilization depends on water medium to get the sperm to the egg. lack a woody tissue necessary for support around their “stems” and so are usually relatively short
32
Mosses
33
Liverworts & Hornworts
34
Vascular Plants Internal transportation System Xylem – water carrying tubes Phloem – sugar carrying tissues enables plants to evolve into larger specimens. Produce Seeds – protects and nourishes an Embryo of the new plant
35
Gymnosperms Conifers (pine cones) Oldest vascular plants
36
Angiosperms - flowering plants - flowering plants
37
Animalia Kingdom All animals are: -Multicellular: cells lacking a cell wall -Heterotrophs -Capable of movement at some point in their lives.
38
2 nd Criteria for Animal Classification Skeletal Characteristics Invertebrates have a hard external skeleton made of chitin known as an exoskeleton Vertebrates have a hard internal skeleton made of bone or cartilage
