13. THE SIX KINGDOMS ARCHAEBACTERIA EUBACTERIA PROTISTS FUNGI PLANTS ANIMALS

14. What’s the difference? KINGDOM is the largest and most general group. So then species is…? SPECIES is the smallest and most specific group.

15. CLASSIFICATION All living things are classified into seven major groups: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family ` Genus Species

16. How am I going to remember that? A pneumonic device to remember the levels of classification: “Kings Play Cards On Fat Green Stools.”

17. Two Kingdoms of Bacteria EUBACTERIA -- The “common” bacteria, needs oxygen to live ARCHAEBACTERIA – bacteria that live in harsh environments without oxygen

18. KINGDOM: ARCHAEBACTERIA

19. Autotrophic or heterotrophic Unicellular (made up of ONE cell) Prokaryotes (DO NOT have a nucleus)

20. WHAT IS A PROKARYOTE? AN ORGANISM THAT DOES NOT HAVE A NUCLEUS

21. KINGDOM: EUBACTERIA “TRUE BACTERIA” UNICELLULAR PROKARYOTES SOME AUTOTROPHS AND SOME HETEROTROPHS

22. KINGDOM: PROTISTA UNICELLULAR EUKARYOTES Live in MOIST surroundings (ranging from muddy puddles to ocean waters)

23. SOME ARE AUTO- AND SOME ARE HETERO- TROPHIC SOME FORM CHAINS OR COLONIES THE “JUNK DRAWER” kingdom

24. WHAT IS A EUKARYOTE? A Eukaryote is an organism with a NUCLEUS.

25. A QUICK QUIZ... NAME THE THREE KINGDOMS THAT CONTAIN ONLY UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS 1. ARCHAEBACTERIA 2. EUBACTERIA 3. PROTIST

26. QUIZ cont.... WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARCHAEBACTERIA AND EUBACTERIA? ARCHAEBACTERIA -- live WITHOUT Oxygen EUBACTERIA -- needs Oxygen to survive.

27. QUIZ cont.... WHAT MAKES PROTISTS DIFFERENT FROM BACTERIA? PROTISTS HAVE A NUCLEUS and BACTERIA DO NOT HAVE A NUCLEUS.

28. QUIZ cont.... WHAT IS THE TERM FOR A CELL THAT DOES NOT HAVE A NUCLEUS?

29. Answer: PROKARYOTE

30. A quick question... WHAT IS THE TERM FOR A CELL THAT HAS A NUCLEUS?

31. NOW, ON TO THE LAST THREE KINGDOMS 1. FUNGI 2. PLANT 3. ANIMAL

32. KINGDOM: FUNGI EUKARYOTIC MULTICELLULAR HETEROTROPHIC (absorb their food)

33. KINGDOM: FUNGI

34. KINGDOM: PLANT MULTICELLULAR EUKARYOTIC AUTOTROPHIC

38. KINGDOM: ANIMAL Multicellular Heterotrophic Eukaryotes

39. KINGDOM: ANIMAL

40. KINGDOM: ANIMAL INVERTEBRATES

41. KINGDOM: ANIMAL

46. Now let’s do a little bit of review!
