6 Kingdoms of Organisms Any living thing made

6 Kingdoms of Organisms Any living thing made of cells.

Plantae • Autotrophs- can make their own food using sunlight energy • Multicellular • Contain chlorophyll which makes them green • Have cell walls • Photosynthesize • Eukaryotic- have a nucleus

Plants

Plants Evergreens Venus Fly Trap

Plants • Apple tree- flowering plants

Animalia • • • Multicellular Heterotrophs-can’t make their own food Have a nervous system, or brain No cell walls Eukaryotic- have a nucleus

Animals

Animals

Animals

Protista • Most are unicellular- you need a microscope to see them • Junk kingdom, contains many organisms that don’t quite fit anywhere else • Contains algae which are multicellular • Heterotrophs • Eukaryotic- have a nucleus • Usually found in pond water

Protist • Paramecium

Protist • Amoeba

Protist • Euglena- why is this a protist and not a plant?

Protist • Diatoms Giardia

Protist • Red Algae Green Algae

Fungi • • • Multicellular Heterotrophs Decomposers- break down dead material Eukaryote- have a nucleus Mushrooms, Yeasts, and Molds Has hyphae which acts like roots under the ground

Fungi

Fungi • Mushrooms- basidiomycota

Fungi • Molds

Fungi Yeast Cordyceps

Fungi • Truffles

Fungi • Morels

Eubacteria • All are unicellular • Prokaryote- do not have a true nucleus, just a naked piece of DNA • Most are heterotrophs • Contains the bacteria that makes us sick • E. coli, Streptococci etc.

Eubacteria

Eubacteria • Escheria coli (E. coli)

Eukaryote • Staphylococci

Eubacteria • Salmonella- causes food poisoning

Archaebacteria • All are unicellular • Prokaryote- do not have a true nucleus, just a naked piece of DNA • Most are heterotrophs • Oldest living organsims on earth (SURVIVORS) • Live where other living things can’t (Hot pots, Great Salt Lake, bottom of ocean)

Archaebacteria • Methanogens- live in digestive tracts of animals and humans, produce methane gas

Archaebacteria • Thermophiles –love hot places

Archaebacteria • Halophiles- loves salty environments

Archaebacteria Live on the bottom of the ocean floor with absolutely no light
