1. The Six Kingdoms
Life Science

3. Introduction Six Kingdoms
-organized according to type of cells, ability to make food, number of cells in body
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals

4. Terminology Getting food autotrophs – make own food
hetertrophs – get food from other sources
Type of cells
prokaryotic – no nucleus
eukaryotic – with a nucleus

5. Terminology continued
Body type
unicellular – made of only one cell
multicellular – made of more than one cell;
-have cells with special functions
Reproduction
sexual – need male and female parents
asexual – need only one parent

6. Archaebacteria -”ancient bacteria” -existed before dinosaurs
-live in extreme environments
-hot springs
-acidic environment
-methane
-unicellular prokaryotes
-some autotrophs, some heterotrophs

7. Eubacteria Chemical makeup is different from that of archaebacteria.
-unicellular prokaryote
-some autotrophs, some heterotrophs

8. Protists
-“odds and ends” kingdom because its organisms are pretty different from one another
-most unicellular, some multicellular
-eukaryotes
-some autotrophs, some heterotrophs

9. Fungi -mushrooms, mold, and mildew
-most are multicellular, some (like yeast) are unicellular
-eukaryotes
-all are heterotrophs
-eat dead or decaying organisms

10. Plants -all plants are multicellular -all are eukaryotes
-plants are autotrophs

11. Animals -all are multicellular -all are eukaryotes
-all are heterotrophs
