Essential Question
How are all living things
organized?
Explain
What makes a fish a fish?
Why is a sunflower a
sunflower?
Why is a mushroom a
fungus and not a plant?
List reasons why the
car is not a living
thing.
What makes bacteria
different from other
organism?
Why are viruses not in any
Kingdom?

Characteristics of Life
must meet ALL to be living
1. Made up of 1 or more cells
2. Metabolism
3. Excretion / Homeostasis
4. Movement
5. Contains Genetic material
6. Reproduction
7. Growth and Development
8. Response to Environment / Adapt
9. Evolve

Scientists use characteristics specific for each Kingdom to organize organisms.
Using this organization, you should be able to make some generalizations based
on what you know about taxonomic levels. In particular, the more levels of
classification that two or more organisms share, the more similar they will
be.

3 Domains – copy this not in table

Archaea and Eubacteria
 unicellular
 prokaryotes
(no nucleus)
 no membrane-bound organelles

Eukarya
 more
complex
 most are multicellular, some unicellular
 eukaryotes (have nucleus)
 membrane-bound organelles
Archaebacteria
Use the following
slide to fill in table.
live in extremely harsh environments and
may represent the first cells to have evolved
Make own food
using H2, S or CO2
extreme
environments
HOT,
Sewage

plants, thermal
vents, etc.
Acidic,
Salty,
Anaerobic
Unicellular
no nucleus
1 circular chromosome
Eubacteria
some cause human diseases
present in almost all habitats on earth
Unicellular
No nucleus
Cell wall made up of
peptidoglycan
Live in
the
intestines
of animals
Many bacteria are important environmentally and commercially.

Animal-like
Plant-like
Fungus-like
Fungus like protists (absorbtive heterotrophs)
Animal like protists (heterotrophic)
Plant like protists (autotrophic,
cellulose cell walls)
Fungus



DNA inside nucleus
Multicellular, except yeast
Absorptive heterotrophs
(digest food outside their
body & then absorb it)
Cell walls made of chitin
Found in marine,
freshwater and terrestrial
environments
Plantae





DNA inside nucleus
All Multicellular
All Autotrophic
use sunlight to make
glucose – Photosynthesis
Cell walls made of cellulose
Animalia

Multicellular
No cell walls
Ingestive
heterotrophs
(consume food &
digest it inside their

Feed on plants or
animals



Viruses are much smaller than
bacteria.
They are not an ancient life form.
Viruses are virulent.
They cause diseases like the flu
or chicken pox.
Most biologists agree that
viruses are not alive.
Viruses do not move, grow, or
carry out respiration.
Viruses need living host cells to
reproduce.
