How we organize organisms…
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
Let’s Review More
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-
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?
 Terrestrial and aquatic
 Multicellular
 Heterotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Do NOT have cell walls
What is the Plantae Kingdom?
Plants ! The green stuff!
What are the Characteristics
of the Plantae Kingdom?
 Terrestrial and aquatic, requiring
sunlight
 Multicellular
 Autotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Have cell walls with cellulose (that’s
roughage to you & me)
What is the Kingdom Fungi?
(the great recyclers)
Rhizopus
Ringworm
What are the Characteristics of
the Fungi Kingdom?
 Terrestrial, in warm, moist conditions
 MOST multicellular, a few unicellular
(yeasts)
 Heterotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Have cell walls with chitin
What is Kingdom Protista?
(a little of everything)
Euglena
Amoeba
Vorticella
What are the Characteristics of
the Protista Kingdom?
 Mostly aquatic
 MOST unicellular, a few multicellular
 Some autotrophic & others
heterotrophic
 Eukaryotic
 Some have cell walls with cellulose,
some do not have cell walls at all
What is Kingdom Eubacteria
previously known as Monera.
Nostoc
(photosynthetic)
E. coli
What are the Characteristics
of the Eubacteria Kingdom?
 Found most everywhere (and most
are not harmful!)
 Unicellular
 Some autotrophic & others
heterotrophic
 Prokaryotic
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?
 Found in extreme environments where
other organisms cannot live
 Unicellular
 Some autotrophic & others
heterotrophic
 Prokaryotic
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’ System
of Classification
• King Philip Came Over For Great
Spaghetti
• Taxon – each level within a naming
system.
•
• Kingdom
• Phylum
• Class
• Order
• Family
•
Genus
Species
