Six Kingdoms Notes

Intro Description to the six biological kingdoms

1. Overview of the
Six Kingdoms

2. What is Cell Type?
•Prokaryotic – describes an organism with cells
that do NOT have a nucleus
•Eukaryotic – describes an organism with cells
that do have a nucleus
Bundren, 2008 2

3. 1. The organism shown is
A.Prokaryotic
B.Eukaryotic
DNA
CELL
MEMBRANE
Bundren, 2008 3

4. What is Cellular Organization?
•Multicellular – organisms are made up of more than
one cell
•Unicellular – organisms are made up of one cell
Bundren, 2008 4

5. 2. The organisms shown are
A.Unicellular
B.Multicellular
Bundren, 2008 5

6. What is Mode of Nutrition?
•Autotrophic – makes its own food
•Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it
consumes
Bundren, 2008 6

7. 3. The organism shown is
A.Autotrophic
B.Heterotrophic

9. Kingdom Archaebacteria
“extreme bacteria”
•Cell Type – Unicellular
•Cellular Organization – Prokaryotic
•Mode of nutrition –Autotrophic or
Heterotrophic
–Means that some species are autotrophs and
some are heterotrophs
Bundren, 2008 9

10. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Characteristics
•Reproduction – asexual
•Cell Wall – cell walls without peptidoglycan
•Habitat – live in extreme habitats such as hot
springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine
pools, black smokers
Bundren, 2008 10

11. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park – note the bright colors
from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water.

12. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Bundren, 2008 12

13. Kingdom Archaebacteria
•Archaebacteria can live deep
in the ocean near geothermal
vents called black smokers
•There is no light, so they
carry out chemosynthesis
instead of photosynthesis
Bundren, 2008 13

14. Kingdom Eubacteria
•Cell Type – Prokaryotic
•Cellular Organization – Unicellular
•Mode of nutrition – Autotrophic or
heterotrophic
•Reproduction – asexual
•Cell Wall – Thick cells walls with peptidoglycan
•Habitat – everywhere!!! (even inside you)
Bundren, 2008 14

15. Kingdom Eubacteria
•Procholorococcus – an autotrophic bacterium
Bundren, 2008 15

16. Kingdom Protista: “Catch All Kingdom”
•Cell Type – Eukaryotic
•Cellular Organization – Most unicellular, some
multicellular
•Mode of Nutrition – Autotrophic and
heterotrophic
•Reproduction – sexual and asexual
•Cell Wall – Some with cell walls containing
cellulose
•Habitat – all aquatic
Bundren, 2008 16

17. Kingdom Protista
Volvox – a colonial protist
Euglena - autotrophic
A slime mold Amoeba - heterotrophic
Bundren, 2008 17

18. Kingdom Fungi
•Cell Type – Eukaryotic
•Cellular Organization – Most multicellular
•Mode of Nutrition –heterotrophic
(decomposers)
•Reproduction – sexual and asexual
•Cell Wall –cell walls containing chitin
•Habitat – terrestrial
Bundren, 2008 18

19. Kingdom Fungi
Stilton cheese
Bread mold
Bundren, 2008 19

20. Kingdom Plantae
•Cell Type – Eukaryotic
•Cellular Organization – multicellular
•Mode of Nutrition – Autotrophic
•Reproduction – sexual
•Cell Wall – cell walls containing cellulose
•Habitat – aquatic and terrestrial
Bundren, 2008 20

21. Kingdom Plantae
