In this unit, we will learn: How living things are classified How different species are named What bacteria look like What microorganisms are If microorganisms are dangerous
2
1. Classification of living things Classification systems are used to organize all the living things on Earth. We used to use artificial systems –Based on visible characteristics Now we use a natural system –Based on evolution
3
1.1 Classification categories Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Most specific Least specific
4
- Naming the species Two individuals belong to the same species if they can reproduce together and have fertile descendants. Labrador retriever Poodle Labradoodle
5
- Naming the species Binomial Nomenclature –A two word naming system (1 st name: Genus, 2 nd name: species). Common Name: The everyday name given to an organism Scientific Name: The two-word Latin name of a species –Homo sapiens –Canis familiaris
6
Why do we need scientific names? In the U.S and England this bird is called the house sparrow, in Spain the gorrion, in Holland the musch, and in Sweden the hussparf However, this bird has only ONE scientific name: Passer domesticus

2. The five kingdoms KINGDOMTYPE OF NUTRITION CELLULAR ORGANISM TYPE OF CELL HAS TISSUES? MoneranAutotrophic or Heterotrophic Single cellProkaryoticNo ProtistAutotrophic or Heterotrophic Single cell or Multicellular EukaryoticNo FungusHeterotrophicSingle cell or Multicellular EukaryoticNo PlantAutotrophicMulticellularEukaryoticYes AnimalHeterotrophicMulticellularEukaryoticYes S PECIAL N OTE : V IRUSES Because viruses cannot survive outside the cells of another animal, and they only perform one of the three vital functions, they are not included in any Kingdom.

The Family Tree of Living Things

3. The Moneran Kingdom This Kingdom includes unicellular organisms without a nucleus –PROKARYTIC cells Bacteria –Can be pathogens Treated with Antibiotics –Most bacteria are beneficial
11
What do bacteria look like?
12
Prokaryotic Single-cell Very simple structure Size: 1-10 microns –one-millionth of a meter –μm
13
Types of Bacteria
14
What type of bacteria? AB C D E F

4. The Protist Kingdom The “random kingdom” KINGDOMTYPE OF NUTRITION CELLULAR ORGANISM TYPE OF CELL HAS TISSUES? MoneranAutotrophic or Heterotrophic Single cellProkaryoticNo ProtistAutotrophic or Heterotrophic Single cell or Multicellular EukaryoticNo FungusHeterotrophicSingle cell or Multicellular EukaryoticNo PlantAutotrophicMulticellularEukaryoticYes AnimalHeterotrophicMulticellularEukaryoticYes
17
4.1 Protozoa Single-cell heterotrophs Live –In water –Parasites Divided into four groups
18
Ciliates Have cilia to move Have two nuclei Can be parasites or live freely in water Example: Paramecium
19
Flagellates Most types are parasites Use one or two flagella to move Example: Trypanosoma brucei –Causes sleeping sickness
20
Rhizopoda Have pseudopods to move and eat with Some are parasites –Entamoeba histolytica Others live freely –amoeba
21
Sporozoa Non-motile All parasites Reproduce asexually through spores Example: Plasmodium malariae
22

23
4.2 Algae Aquatic Single-celled –BUT can group together with other algae to form a mass of algae
24
4.2 Algae Have chlorophyll –or other photosynthetic elements –NOT plants! –Autotrophic
25
4.2 Algae Many types – classified by their main pigment color 1.Brown Algae –Marine –Multicellular –Biggest ones are ~50 meters long
26
4.2 Algae 2. Red Algae –Single-celled or multicellular –Attach to sea floor or shells –Have red pigment
27
4.2 Algae 3. Green Algae –Cells have a lot of chlorophyll –Live in all aquatic environments –There is a lot of diversity in this type of algae
28
-The importance of algae Produce marine organic matter Used in food and fertilizers Used in the food and pharmaceutical industries

5. The Fungus Kingdom Mushrooms, yeasts, and moulds KINGDOMTYPE OF NUTRITION CELLULAR ORGANISM TYPE OF CELL HAS TISSUES? MoneranAutotrophic or Heterotrophic Single cellProkaryoticNo ProtistAutotrophic or Heterotrophic Single cell or Multicellular EukaryoticNo FungusHeterotrophicSingle cell or Multicellular EukaryoticNo PlantAutotrophicMulticellularEukaryoticYes AnimalHeterotrophicMulticellularEukaryoticYes
31
- Characteristics of fungi Eukaryotic Single-celled or multicellular Reproduce sexually and asexually Need a humid atmosphere
32
- Types of fungi Single cell fungi –Yeasts Cause fermentation (to make alcohol, yogurt, bread, etc.)
33
- Types of fungi Multicellular fungi –Mushrooms Caps are the reproductive apparatus Use spores to reproduce
34
- Types of fungi Multicellular fungi –Moulds Don’t have real tissue Cells are grouped into hyphae
