Answer Here
Which of the following is NOT a
characteristics of living things.
A. Reproduction and Growth
B. Metabolism
C. Movement
D. Cellular Organization
Today you will
1. How living things are organized.
2. The difference between prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells.
3. The difference between autotrophs and
heterotrophs.
Let’s Review - Living Things
grow and develop.
reproduce.
obtain and use materials and energy.
respond to their environment.
change over time.
are based on a universal genetic code.
are made up of units called cells.
Maintain their internal environments.

What is Classification?
•Grouping of objects or information
based on similarities.
•In Biology this is called Taxonomy.
What is Taxonomy?
The branch of biology
concerned with the grouping
and naming of organisms
Who is Linnaeus?
•Father of modern taxonomy
•Developed the method of
classification that is used today.
•Classified organisms based on
physical characteristics
•Created the 7 taxonomic categories:
What is Linnaeus’s System
of Classification
 King Philip Came Over For Great Spaghetti
 Taxon – each level within a naming system.
 Kingdom (Most inclusive)
 Phylum
 Class
 Order
 Family
 Genus
 Species (Least inclusive or
exclusive)
 King
 Phillip
 Came
 Over
 For
 Great
 Spaghetti

How are Living Things
Organized?
According to the 6
Kingdom system of
classification.
What are the 6 KINGDOMS?
Animalia
Plantae
Fungi
Protista
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
How are the Kingdoms Organized?
 Type of Cell prokaryotic/eukaryotic
 # of Cells - unicellular/multicellular
 Feeding - autotrophic/heterotrophic Cell Wall – present or not
What is a
Prokaryotic Cell
What is a
Eukaryotic Cell
No Nucleus
Nucleus
What is
Unicellular?
Only one cell
What is
Multicellular?
More than one
cell
What is an
Autotroph?
Make their own food
What is a
Heterotroph?
Do NOT make their
own food
What is Kingdom Animalia?
(that’s us!)
What are the Characteristics of
the Animalia Kingdom?
 Multicellular
 Heterotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Do NOT have cell walls
 Terrestrial and aquatic
What is the Plantae Kingdom?
Plants ! The green stuff!
What are the Characteristics
of the Plantae Kingdom?
 Multicellular
 Autotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Have cell walls with cellulose (that’s
roughage to you & me)
 Terrestrial and aquatic, requiring
sunlight
What is the Kingdom Fungi?
(the great recyclers)
Rhizopus
Ringworm
What are the Characteristics of
the Fungi Kingdom?
 MOST multicellular, a few
unicellular (yeasts)
 Heterotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Have cell walls with chitin
 Terrestrial, in warm, moist
conditions
What is Kingdom Protista?
(a little of everything)
Euglena
Amoeba
Vorticella
What are the Characteristics of
the Protista Kingdom?
 MOST unicellular, a few multicellular
 Some autotrophic & others
heterotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Some have cell walls with cellulose,
some do not have cell walls at all
 Mostly aquatic
What is Kingdom Eubacteria
previously a part of the Kingdom Monera.
Nostoc
(photosynthetic)
E. coli
What are the Characteristics
of the Eubacteria Kingdom?
 Unicellular
 Some autotrophic & others
heterotrophic
 Prokaryotic
 Cell Wall – with peptidoglycans
 Found most everywhere (and most are
not harmful!)
What is Kingdom Archaebacteria
The extremophiles!
Thermophiles
Yellowstone N.P. Hot
Springs
Halophiles in
Great Salt Lake,
Utah
What are the Characteristics of
the Archaebacteria Kingdom?
 Unicellular
 Some autotrophic & others
heterotrophic
 Prokaryotic
 Cell Wall – without peptidoglycans.
 Unique RNA
 Found in extreme environments
where other organisms cannot live
