Archaebacteria Oldest form of life Structural Organization: Single cell organism (unicellular) Prokaryote Asexual reproduction

Getting Energy Absorb simple compounds and minerals from their environments. "Archaebacteria. " World Encyclopedia. 2005. Encyclopedia. com. 30 Apr. 2015 <http: //www. encyclopedia. com>. Examples of where this bacteria can live: Found in extreme environments such as: Geysers Hot springs Volcanic ocean vents No oxygen High acid (sulfur) High salt And MORE!

Eubacteria Second oldest form of life Structural Organization Single cell organism (unicellular) Prokaryote May have flagella or cilia Asexual reproduction

Getting Energy Absorb organic compounds made both other organisms. Some will absorb chemicals from the environment! Examples of where this bacteria can live: Most familiar bacteria Streptococcus Lactobacillus Staphylococcus Gangrene Some Bacteria is very important for us to stay healthy. Robinson, Richard. "Eubacteria. " Genetics. 2003. Encyclopedia. com. 30 Apr. 2015 <http: //www. encyclopedia. com>. Some bacteria is harmful to us and can make us very sick.

Protists “Odds and Ends” kingdom which is defined by what they’re NOT! Organisms that are not plants, not animal, not bacteria, and not fungi Structural Organization: All microscopic Single cell organism (unicellular) Eukaryote Live alone or in colonies

Encyclopedia. com. 30 Apr. 2015 <http: //www. encyclopedia. com>. Examples of these awesome organisms: • Protozoa • Amoeba • “Protists may resemble an animal or a plant. Animal-like protists include naked and shelled amoebas, foraminiferans, zooflagellates, and ciliates; plant-like protists include dinoflagellates, diatoms, and algae”

Fungi Structural Organization: • Most are multi-cellular • Some are unicellular • Reproduce sexually or asexually by means of spores

Examples: Getting Energy absorb nutrients from organic matter formed by other organisms. These organisms can be dead or living. Royse, Daniel J. . "Fungi. " Encyclopedia of Food and Culture. 2003.

Some cause diseases – ringworm, and athlete’s foot

Plants Second largest kingdom Structural Organization: Multi-cellular organisms Cell wall, chloroplast, large central vacuole Sexual reproduction Some Asexual reproduction

Examples of plants: Getting Energy • Grass Make their own food through process of Photosynthesis! • Lilly Without plants life as we know it would not exist. • Apple tree • Fern • Spider plant • Rose bush • Tree of 40 Fruits!

Animals Largest kingdom Structural Organization Multi-cellular Sexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction

Over 1 million known species! Getting Energy Get their food from the environment. They must eat for energy! Examples of Animals: Worms Ants Sponges People Fruit flies Sharks Mole Cat Spider Sea star Sunfish Bat
