THE KINGDOMS

Phylum away in your brain in the proper order.

Then, class, you’ll be a lot of fungis.

The Seven Levels of Classification

• Kingdom• Phylum• Class• Order• Family• Genus• Species

The Six Kingdoms

• Archaebacteria• Eubacteria• Animalia• Plantae• Fungi• Protista

Carolus Linnaeus

• Swedish doctor and botanist who lived in the 1700s

• The first taxonomist• Taxonomy is the science of identifying,

classifying, and naming living things

Taxonomy

• Linnaeus- organized living things based on shared characteristics

• In modern taxonomy, evolutionary relationships are also used (common ancestors)

• Branching diagrams show which organisms are more closely related

• Prokaryotes- organisms that do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles– Bacteria– Means “before kernel” or “before nucleus”

• Eukaryotes- organisms that have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles– The other 4 kingdoms

Reproduction

• Asexual reproduction- organism replicates itself by budding or dividing. Only one organisms is involved.

• Sexual reproduction- male and female parents involved.

2 Bacteria Kingdoms• Prokaryotes (no nucleus)• Asexual or sexual reproduction• ARCHAEBACTERIA

– Means “ancient”– Live in places where most organisms could not

survive– Hot springs, ocean depths

• EUBACTERIA– Most of the other thousands of bacteria– Live in soil, water, on and inside the human body– Some bacteria can be helpful, some are harmful

Kingdom Protista• “Catch all” kingdom• Single celled or multicellular• Eukaryotes (they have a nucleus)• All eukaryotes that are not plants, animals, or

fungi• Can receive nutrients many different ways• Sexual or asexual reproduction• Many different kinds of organisms• Algae, protozoa, slime molds, Euglena,

Paramecium, Amoeba

Kingdom Plantae

• Multicellular• Eukaryotes• Sexual reproduction• Normally green• Receive nutrients by photosynthesis

– Use the sun’s energy to make sugar

Kingdom Fungi

• Multicellular• Eukaryotes• Sexual and asexual reproduction, different

phases of life cycle• Do not do photosynthesis!• Do not eat food!• Absorb nutrients from surroundings and

break down with digestive juices

Kingdom Animalia

• Multicellular• Eukaryotes• Sexual reproduction• Most can move from place to place• Nervous system to sense and react to

surroundings• No cell walls like plants, most protists, and

bacteria
