Scientists classify organisms into 6 different
kingdoms based on:
1) The presence of a nucleus
Eukaryotic/Prokaryotic
2) The number of cells
Unicellular/Multicellular
3) The ability to move
4) The method of obtaining food

Cell Type: Prokaryotic
Cell Wall? Present
# of Cells: Unicellular
Movement:
Some are able(flagella)
Environment:
Feeding:
Extremes!
Sunlight, Gasses or Ions
Ex: High salt, temp
Obtain it from animals/plants
Reproduction: Asexual
Prokaryotic
Possess a Cell Wall
Unicellular
Obtain Energy: WIDE RANGE!!
Organic Compounds (sugars)
Sunlight
Ammonia/Metal Ions/Hydrogen
Gas
Movement:
Flagella
Environment: EXTREMOPHILES!
Halophiles
Acidophiles
Theromophiles
Alkaliphiles
Even Mars??
Reproduction:
Asexual – Binary Fission

of Cell Wall Cells Food
Cell Type: Prokaryotic
Cell Wall? Present
# of Cells: Unicellular
Feeding:
Photosynthesis, Chemicals
Decompose dead material
Movement:
Some are able
Flagella, tumbling
Environment:
Common places – us!
Reproduction:
Asexual
Prokaryotic
Possess Cell Walls
Unicellular
Obtain food:
Photosynthesis
Use Chemicals
(nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur)
Decompose plants/animals
Movement:
Flagella
Tumbling
Re-arranging cytoskeleton
Environment:
Within every habitat on Earth
Even in you! (There are 10x the number of
bacteria cells in you body than human cells)
Reproduction:
Asexual – Binary Fission
Begin to think
about your
poem…..
Example:
And now my friends….if I ran the zoo.
I’d organize the other bacteria in the kingdom of “Eu”
These unicellular creatures would be happy as clams.
Living in a great many habitats and lands.
In the sea, in the air, in my yogurt and shoe,
My prokaryote friends would multiply in two!
Oh yes, the great process of binary fission – Don’t you
remember cellular division?
They’d decompose the dead, and produce their own food.
Can’t you see it now Zoologist dude?

Movement:
Some are able
Flagella, cillia, pseduopods
Environment:
Must live in water!
Feeding:
Photosynthesis
Organic Compounds (plants/animals)
Reproduction:
Asexual/Sexual
Virtually
everywhere!!
*Require
oxygen
*Must obtain
homeostasis
Sexually or
Asexually
Eukaryotic : There are 60,00 different types
Some Possess Cell Walls
Unicellular or Multicellular (but they do not have
specialized tissues)
Obtain food:
Photosynthesis
Organic Compounds (Plants/Animals)
Movement:
Flagella
Cillia
Pseudopods – False foot
Non-Mobile
Environment:
Must live in liquid (water)
Reproduction:
Sexual or
Asexual

Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Cell Wall? Present
# of Cells: Multi Cellular
Movement:
Non-mobile (by itself)
Parts Can Move
Environment:
Virtually everywhere!
Feeding:
Photosynthesis (producers)
Reproduction:
Asexual/Sexual
Eukaryotic – 287, 655 species!
Possess Cell Walls
Multicellular
Obtain food:
Photosynthesis
Require: Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide,
Water, Essential Nutrients (from soil)
Movement:
Most of plant = non-mobile
Plants will grow toward light, leaves move
Environment:
Plants are found virtually everywhere
Except: Arid deserts, arctic, deep ocean
Reproduction:
Sexual /Asexual
Fun Fact!
Carvings in tree stems
will not move!

# of Cells: Multi Cellular
Movement:
Non-mobile (by itself)
Can move as a team
Environment:
Found in most ecosystems
Feeding:
Organic Compounds (plants/animals)
Reproduction:
Asexual/Sexual
Eukaryotic
Possess Cell Walls
Multicellular
Obtain food:
Organic Compounds (Plants/Animals)
Movement:
Non-mobile
BUT cells can move as a team
~Through hyphae
“Grow to get food”
Environment:
Found in most ecosystems
Play major roles as decomposers
Reproduction:
Sexual or
Asexual (spores)
Fun Facts! The largest fungus is 2,200 acres big!
It takes 50-100 years for fungi to
decompose a tree

Fun Fact!
Ancient Greek dentists used the venom in
a sting ray as an anesthetic!
