1. Daily TAKS Connection: Characteristics of Kingdoms BIO (8): The student knows applications of taxonomy and can identify its limitations. The student is expected: (C) Identify characteristics of kingdoms including monerans, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.

2. Foldable Instructions Construct a layered book foldable Materials:  Foldable handout (3 pages)  Scissors  Pen  Colored pencils/crayons  Stapler  Instructions: ?????

3. Archaebacteria Notes On the tab labeled “Archaebacteria”, record the following notes: Prokaryotic  No nucleus  No membrane-bound organelles Most have cell walls Single-celled Both autotrophs and heterotrophs exist Reproduce by asexual reproduction Also called “extremophiles” because they live in “extreme” environments (extremely hot, salty, or acidic environments)

4. Eubacteria Notes On the tab labeled “Eubacteria”, record the following notes: Prokaryotic  No nucleus  No membrane-bound organelles Most have cell walls Single-celled Both autotrophic and heterotrophic exist Reproduce by asexual reproduction Most abundant kingdom on earth

5. Protist Notes On the tab labeled “Protists”, record the following notes: Eukaryotic  Contain a nucleus  Contain membrane bound organelles Unicellular and multicellular exist Both autotrophs and heterotrophs exist Examples: euglena, paramecium, amoeba

6. Fungi Notes On the tab labeled “Fungi”, record the following notes: Eukaryotic Multicellular Have a cell wall Lack chloroplasts Heterotrophic  Decomposers Can reproduce by both sexual reproduction (produce spores) and asexual reproduction non-motile Examples: mushrooms and mold

7. Plant Notes On the tab labeled “Plants”, record the following notes: Eukaryotic Multicellular Autotrophic  Contain chloroplasts Makes own food by photosynthesis Have a cell wall Most reproduce by sexual reproduction Non-motile

8. Animal Notes On the tab labeled “Animals”, record the following notes: Eukaryotic Multicellular Heterotrophic No cell wall Reproduce by sexual reproduction Motile

12. Taxonomy Notes On the reverse of your foldable, record the following: Taxonomic Hierarchy: a scientific classification system  Organisms are most closely related when the their names contain the same genus. Kingdom (least specific) King Phylum Phillip Class came Order over Family for Genus good Species (most specific) soup.

13. Question 4 Which of these classifications is least specific? a.Family b.Genus c.Phylum d.Order

14. Question 5 Which of these classifications is most specific? a.Family b.Genus c.Phylum d.Order
