1. The Six Kingdoms of Life By: Mr. Lowe

2. Important New Vocabulary
Sessile = Not able to move about (stationary).
Vagile = Able to move about.
Heterotrophic = Organism that cannot make its own food. (example- humans)
Autotrophic = Organism that can make its own food. (example – plants = photosynthesis)

3. Six Kingdoms Kingdom Archaebacteria – Simplest
Kingdom Eubacteria – Simplest
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Animalia – most complex

4. Archaebacteria (ancient)
Number of Cells = Unicellular (one cell)
Nucleus = No true nucleus
Type of Cell = Prokaryotic
Movement = Sessile and Vagile
How They Move = Flagellum
Food Making = Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
Examples = Methanogens (produce methane), Halophiles (salt-loving), Thermophiles (high temperatures), Psychrophiles (low temperatures)

5. Eubacteria Number of Cells = Unicellular (one cell)
Nucleus = No true nucleus
Type of Cell = Prokaryotic
Movement = Sessile and Vagile
How They Move = Flagellum
Food Making = Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
Examples = Bacteria, Cyanobacteria(blue-green algae), Actinobacteria

6. Protista Number of Cells = Unicellular (one cell)
Nucleus = True nucleus
Type of Cell = Eukaryotic
Movement = Sessile and Vagile
How They Move = Flagellum, Cilia, Pseudopodia (false foot)
Food Making = Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
Examples = Ameoba, Diatoms, Paramecium

7. Fungi Number of Cells = Multicellular Nucleus = Has a true nucleus
Type of Cell = Eukaryotic
Movement = Sessile
How They Move = N/A
Food Making = Heterotrophic (some parasites)
Examples = Yeast, Molds, and Mushrooms

8. Plantae Number of Cells = Multicellular Nucleus = Has a true nucleus
Type of Cell = Eukaryotic
Movement = Sessile
How They Move = N/A
Food Making = Autotrophic (photosynthesis)
Examples = mosses, ferns, flowering plants (dandelions, roses, etc.), trees

9. Animalia Number of Cells = Multicellular Nucleus = Has a true nucleus
Type of Cell = Eukaryotic
Movement = Sessile and Vagile
How They Move = legs, wings, fins, flippers, hands.
slither
Food Making = Heterotrophic
Examples = Worms, Insects, Arachnids, Mammals, Jellyfish, Coral, Sponges, Reptiles, Birds, Fish
