THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 6 KINGDOMS OF LIFE

Alive?

• To be considered living, an organism must
• Contain all 7 characteristics of life
• DNA
• Reproduce
• Use energy
• Adapt
• Respond to Stimuli
• Made of cells
• Grow and Develop

WHY CLASSIFY?

• To know how many known species there are in the
  world
• To know the characteristics of each species
• To know the relationships between species

Animal Kingdom
Food Cannot make their own food.
Multi-cellular organisms
They have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
Can move on their own.
Reproduction Asexual and sexual
Examples Humans, crustaceans, spiders, insects,
fish, birds, mammals, sponges, hydras, coral,
worms, etc.

Plant Kingdom
Food make their own food by photosynthesis.
Multi-cellular
They have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
Cannot move on their own.
Reproduction Sexually and asexually
Examples rose, cactus, grass, daisy, ferns,
trees
11
Examples of Plant Kingdom
12
Kingdom Fungi
Food do not make their own food.
Decomposers
Unicellular and multicellular.
Have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
Cannot move
Reproduction Sexual and Asexual
Examples yeast, mushrooms, mold, mildew,
athletes foot, ringworm
13
Examples of Fungi
Athletes Foot
Bread mold
mushroom
Foot Fungus
yeast
Bread mold magnified
ringworm
14
Kingdom Protists
Food Some make their own food (plantlike)
others cannot (animal-like).
Unicellular and Multi-cellular
They have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
Some can move on their own.
Reproduction Asexual Sexual
Examples Euglena, paramecium, amoeba, slime
mold, volvox, algae,diatoms, giant kelp
15
Examples of Protists
Paramecium
Algae
Amoeba
Volvox
Stentor
Euglena Fission
Red algae
16
KINGDOM EUBACTERIA
Food Some can make their own food other
cannot.
Unicellular organisms.
No Nucleus (prokaryotic)
Some move and other do not.
Reproduction asexual
Roles decomposers, food makers, help digest
food, clean oil spills, makes nitrogen rich
soil(helps plants grow), etc.
17
Examples of Eubacteria
Anthrax
Bacteria help digest food
Strep
E. Coli
Binary Fission
Blue green algae
18
Kingdom Archaebacteria
This hot, sulfur-rich, acidic pool in Yellowstone
National Park is home to species of Archea, 
including Sulfolobus.
Some archaens live 1000s of miles deep in the
ocean near superheated volcanic vents.
19
KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA
Food- Some cannot make their own food others
do.
Unicellular organisms
No Nucleus (prokaryotic)
Some can move and other cannot
Reproduction asexual
Three main types salt loving, heat loving, and
methane makers, harsh environments

BELLRINGERS

1. Define living, dead, nonliving.

2. Give examples of living, nonliving and dead
objects.
3. Describe how you would know if an object is
living or nonliving?
4. Define multicellular, unicellular,
autotroph, heterotroph
5. Define prokaryotic cell, eukaryotic cell
6. Define taxonomy, classification, kingdom,
organism
22
Bellringer Define classification,
taxonomy List 3 ways humans use classification
every day.
Classification of living things
23
THE SCIENCE OF CLASSIFICATION
Humans naturally like to put objects into groups
in order to make sense out of the world around
us. For example, at home you organize your socks
from your pants, your forks from your cups.
Grouping objects according to their similar
characteristics.
Classification -
Taxonomy -
The science of classifying living things.
24
WHY CLASSIFY?

• To know how many known species there are in the
  world
• To know the characteristics of each species
• To know the relationships between species

25
SCIENTISTS BEHIND TAXONOMY

Aristotle was the first person to come up with a
classification system for living things. He
divided animals into three groups those that
walked, those that swam and those that flew. Why
was this not the best classification system for
animals?
26
NOT SO FAST ARISTOTLE!!!
In the 1700s, Carolus Linnaeus disagreed with
Aristotles classification system. He invented
the modern classification system we use today.
It is called BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.
Today, scientists group organisms not only by
their physical characteristics BUT by their
evolutionary relationships (ancient ancestors).
27
LINNAEUS SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION
Binomial Nomenclature A naming system that
gives every living thing a TWO word name. This
unique two word name is called the SCIENTIFIC
NAME.
Uses LATIN the language of scientists.
Scientific names are always written in italics if
typed or underlined if handwritten
The first word is the GENUS and is always
CAPITALIZED. The second word is the SPECIES and
is always LOWER CASE.

29
WHY TWO NAMES FOR EVERYTHING?

• Because people speak in more than one language
• Because people give objects more than one name.
• for example

What is the name of this cat?
Mountain lion
All are correct but its ONE scientific name is
Felis concolor
puma
cougar
American Lion
30
LETS PRACTICE
Which scientific names are written correctly?
HOMO SAPIEN
Felis domesticus
Tyrannosaurus rex
Canis Lupus
panthera leo
elephas Maximus
31
LOOKING FOR RELATIONSHIPS
Remember that one of the goals of classification
is to find out how certain living things may be
related to one another.
What makes a living thing part of the Animal
Kingdom?
Cannot make its own food
Eukaryotic
Locomotion
Multicellular
ARE ALL OF THESE ANIMALS?
