Biodiversity and Classification
2
What are the 6 Kingdoms? Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protists Fungi
Plants Animals
3
We are looking at the first two
Archaebacteria Eubacteria
4
Smallest and simplest lifeforms
Unicellular (one-celled) no nucleus
5
Classification of Bacteria
Archaebacteria: extremists Eubacteria: Heterotrophs Photosynthetic autotrophs Chemosynthetic autotrophs
6
Archaebacteria Live in extreme locations: Oxygen-free environments
Concentrated salt-water Hot, acidic water
7
Eubacteria - Heterotrophs
Found everywhere Parasites: live off of other organisms Saprobes: live off of dead organisms or waste (recyclers)
8
Eubacteria: Photosynthetic Autotrophs
Photosynthetic: make their own food from light Cyanobacteria: blue-green, yellow, or red ponds, streams, moist areas
9
Eubacteria: Chemosynthetic Autotrophs
Get energy by breaking down inorganic substances like sulfur and nitrogen Make nitrogen in the air usable for plants
10
Kingdom Protista(“Protists”)
Single-celled or multicellular more complex than organisms in Kingdom Monera nucleus protozoans (animal-like) algae (plant-like)
11
Protozoans Kingdom Protista no cell wall or chlorophyll
internal digestion no locomotion (some)
12
Algae Cell walls Chlorophyll Photosynthetic
Placed in groups according to color and structure
13
Kingdom Fungi Multicellular; complex cell walls, no chlorophyll
Threadlike fungi (bread mold) club fungi (mushrooms) sac fungi (yeast and mildew)
14
Kingdom Plantae Multicellular, cell walls, and chlorophyll
Largest and longest-living things on Earth Vascular or Nonvascular
15
Nonvascular Plants CANNOT conduct water Example: Moss
Moist environment
16
Vascular Plants CAN conduct water Capable of living in drier areas
Club mosses, Ferns, Horsetails, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms
17
Gymnosperms Seed plant name means “naked seed” Most are conifers
18
Angiosperms -Flowering Plants
Seed plant name means “covered seed” Seeds are produced inside ovaries A ripened ovary is a fruit largest/most diverse plants
19
Sponges (invertebrate)
Simplest of the animal groups lives in salt water attached to the bottom Hollow central cavity Two layers of body cells with tiny pores
20
Coelenterates (invertebrate)
Jellyfish, hydras, and corals two cell layers Live in water hollow body with a single opening
21
Flatworms (invertebrate)
Flattened body; mostly parasitic one body opening two eyespots (light detection) Turbellarians (free-living) Planarians (freshwater Turbellarians)
22
Roundworms (invertebrate)
Rounded shaped two body openings (eating and waste expulsion) mostly free-living Ex: Nematodes and hookworms
23
Segmented Worms (invertebrate)
Rounded, segmented bodies two body openings has five hearts and a brain Ex: leeches and marine tube worms
24
Mollusks (invertebrate)
Soft-bodies, no shell: (octopus/squid) well-developed organs some with shells: (clams/oysters)
25
Arthropods (invertebrate)
Largest group of animals multiple body segments jointed appendages (legs/arms) exoskeleton (hard outer covering)
26
Arthropods (continued)
Well-developed organs insects, lobsters, crabs, and spiders
27
Echinoderms (invertebrate)
Spiny skinned animals star fish (sea stars), sand dollars, sea cucumbers flexible arms; tube feet known for regeneration (ability to grow new body parts)
28
Vertebrates Have backbones body with a head and most have appendages
endoskeleton (internal skeleton for support/protection)
29
Vertebrates (continued)
Endotherm (warm- blooded); these organisms can control their body temperature from within despite changes in the environment
30
Vertebrates (continued)
Ectotherm (cold-blooded); body temperature changes with the environment
31
Jawless fishes Ex: Sea lamprey
mouth is used for sucking fluids; no appendages (fins) flexible skeleton made of cartilage ectotherms
32
Cartilaginous Fishes Two pairs of fins; gills ectotherms
strong teeth (sharks) SKELETON MADE OF CARTILAGE stingrays, skates, sharks
33
Bony fishes Flounder, eels, trout, and others SKELETON MADE OF BONE
gills streamlined bodies (narrow shape) most numerous group of fish
34
Amphibians Frogs, toads, salamanders
part of their life is spent on land and part of life is spent in the water; (ectotherms) smooth, moist skin gills when they are young and have lungs as adults
35
Reptiles Adapted to live on land (terrestrial) breathe with lungs
body covered with plates or scales ectotherms
36
Reptiles Dinosaurs Turtles, snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and alligators lay eggs in a leathery shell
37
Birds Bodies adapted for flight (light, bones, feathers, and wings)
Scaly legs and feet lay eggs in a hard shell endotherms
38
Mammals Advanced nervous system; highly developed brain Endotherms
Hairy bodies can occupy several habitats give birth to live young; produce milk mammary glands
39
