Standards of Learning
LS.2 The student will investigate and understand
that all living things are composed of cells.
Key concepts include a) cell structure and
organelles and b) similarities and differences
between plant and animal cells. LS.3
The student will investigate and understand that
living things show patterns of cellular
organization. Key concepts include a)  cells,
tissues, organs, and systems and b) life
functions and processes of cells, tissues,
organs, and systems.

Standards of Learning

• LS.5 The student will investigate and understand
  that living things show patterns of cellular
  organization. Key concepts include
• the distinguishing characteristics of kingdoms of
  organisms.
• LS.9 The student will investigate and understand
  interactions among populations in a biological
  community. Key concepts include
• a) the relationships among producers,
  consumers, and decomposers in food webs.

4
Classification of Organisms

• Scientists place organisms into different
  categories based upon the features that they have
  in common.

5
Classification of Organisms

• The most basic category of organisms is called a
  kingdom.
• Most scientists divide organisms into five major
  kingdoms.

6
Types of Cells

• There are two main types of cells
• Prokaryotic cells are ones that do not have a
  well-defined nucleus.
• Eukaryotic cells are those that have a nucleus
  with a nuclear membrane.

7
Prokaryotic Cells

• All organisms with prokaryotic cells are
  unicellular, or composed of only one cell.
• They belong to the kingdom of Monera.

8
Kingdom Monera

• Monerans include all bacteria and one type of
  algae blue-green algae.

• There are two
• types of bacteria
• Archaebacteria
• and Eubacteria.

9
Kingdom Monera

• Archaebacteria are an ancient line of bacteria
  that live in extreme environments such as hot
  thermal vents.

• Eubacteria, or true
• bacteria, can be either
• harmful or helpful to
• other organisms.

11
Eukaryotic Cells

• All other organisms that are not in kingdom
  Monera contain eukaryotic cells.
• They can be either unicellular or multicellular
  (contain many cells).

12
Kingdom Protista

• Eukaryotic organisms with just one cell belong to
  the kingdom Protista.
• Examples of protists are amoebas, euglenas,
  paramecia, and diatoms.

13
Kingdom Protista

• There are also a few multicellular organisms in
  the Protist kingdom.
• These are slime molds or algae (seaweed) whose
  cells are arranged as colonies but are not
  specialized to serve different functions.

Kingdom Protista

video clip about the Protist kingdom.
15
Multicellular Organisms

• The final three kingdoms contain organisms that
  are truly multicellular.
• They all have different types of cells that each
  perform special functions and work together to
  keep the organism alive.

16
Kingdom Plantae

• The members of the Plant kingdom are all
  producers.
• This means that they can make their own food
  through the process of photosynthesis.

17
Kingdom Plantae

18
Kingdom Fungi

• The members of the Fungus kingdom are all
  decomposers that use spores to reproduce.
• Some examples are mold, mildew, and mushrooms.

19
Kingdom Fungi

video clip about the Fungi kingdom.
20
Kingdom Animalia

• The members of the Animal kingdom are all
  consumers.
• This means that they get their food from other
  organisms by eating them.

23
Cellular Organization

• Unicellular organisms contain only one cell.

• Multicellular organisms are made of many cells.

24
The Two Types of Cells

• Prokaryotic cells
• cells that do not have a nuclear membrane around
  the DNA

• Eukaryotic cells
• cells that have a true nucleus containing the
  genetic material

25
Unicellular Kingdoms

• Unicellular organisms that are prokaryotic
• KINGDOM MONERA

• Unicellular organisms that are eukaryotic
• KINGDOM PROTISTA

26
Multicellular Kingdoms

• Multicellular producer
• KINGDOM PLANTAE

• ALL multicellular organisms contain eukaryotic
  cells.

27
Multicellular Kingdoms

• Multicellular consumer
• KINGDOM ANIMALIA

• Multicellular decomposer
• KINGDOM FUNGI
