Today’s
Essential Question:
What are the similarities and
differences among the 6
kingdoms of life?
What
are the two broadest
categories of the classification
system????
Domain
Kingdom
How many domains are there?
3 Domains
1.Bacteria
2.Archea
3.Eukarya
Domains
are based on the
characteristics of
1. Cell Type
2. Cell Structure
What
are the 2 cell types
again???

Domains
Archaea
and Bacteria are
made up of unicellular
prokaryotes
Eukarya are made up of
multiicellular and unicellular
organisms that have
eukaryotic cells.
The
difference between
Domain Bacteria and Domain
Archaea is the cell structure.
Domain
Bacteria - the cell wall
is made up of peptidoglycan.
Domain
Archaea - the cell wall
DOES NOT have peptidoglycan
Peptidoglycan=Cell wall component.
Quick check!!
 What
are the 3 Domains?
 Bacteria are made up of what kind of
cells?
 Eukarya are made up of what kind of
cells?
 What's the difference between Domain

your answers as we go through the next
slides!!
Kingdom Archaebacteria
 Cell
Type: Prokaryote
 # of Cells: Unicellular
 Cell Wall is Present: NO peptidoglycan
 Nutrition/Food: Most are heterotrophs,
but some are autotrophs
 Reproduction: Asexual
 Location: Extreme environments (hot springs,
acidic water, salt flats, the Dead Sea)
 Examples: extremophiles, thermoacidophiles

Kingdom Eubacteria
 Cell
Type: Prokaryote
 # of Cells: Unicellular
 Cell Wall Present: With Peptidoglycan
 Nutrition/Food: Most are heterotrophs,
some autotrophs
 Reproduction: Asexual
 Location: EVERYWHERE!!!
 Example: Bacteria are on most surfaces.
Some cause human diseases, some are
helpful. E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus
What are the kingdoms of
Eukarya???
1. Protista
2. Fungi
3. Plantae
4. Animalia
Kingdom Protista
 Cell
Type: Eukaryote
 # of Cells: Some are unicellular and some
are multicellular
 Cell Wall: SOME have cellulose in cell
wall; some don’t have a cell wall.
 Nutrition/Food: Some get nutrients by
absorption, ingestion, or photo-synthesis;
some heterotrophs; some autotrophs
 Reproduction: Sexual or asexual
 Examples: Amoeba, green algae,
diatoms, euglena, and slime molds
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Fungi
 Cell
Type: Eukaryote
 # of Cells: Some are unicellular and some
are multicellular
 Cell Wall: Contains chitin
 Nutrition/Food: all are heterotrophs;
digestion takes place outside the body
 Special Characteristics: Not mobile
 Reproduction: Asexual and sexual
 Examples: Mushrooms, yeasts, and molds
which grow in shady places.
Kingdom Plantae
 Cell
Type: Eukaryote (multicellular)
 Cell wall: Cellulose
 Nutrition/Food: Autotrophs
 Reproduction: Sexual, asexual, or both
 Location: Land and water
 Examples: Flowering plants mosses and
ferns
Land Plants
Water Plants
Kingdom Animalia
 Cell
Type: Eukaryote
 Cell Wall: No Cell Wall!!
 Nutrition/Food: All are heterotrophs;
digestion takes place inside the body
 Special Characteristics: Organized into
complex organ systems.
 Examples: Sponges, anemones, jellyfish,
lobsters, insects, spiders, squid, worms,
dogs cats, humans
Viruses
Are they alive??
 Viruses
are not living so they are not
placed in the classification system.
Activity!!
 Take
out 4 sheets of paper Stack two
sheets of paper so that the back sheet is
one inch higher than the front sheet
 Repeat with two more sheets of paper so
that the back sheets are each one inch
higher than the sheet in front of it.
 Bring
the bottom of the sheets upward
and align the edges so that all of the
layers or tabs are the same distance
apart.
 When all tabs are an equal distance
apart fold the papers and crease. Open
the papers and staple them along the top
“mountain” crease.
