 HAPPY TUESDAY 
Bellwork: Answer the following question, you do not have to write
the question:
1. A multicellular, heterotrophic organism with cell walls containing
chitin belongs to which kingdom?
KINGDOM FUNGI
2. A unicellular, photosynthetic organisms with cell walls containing
peptidoglycan belongs to which kingdom?
KINGDOM EUBACTERIA
3. A unicellular autotrophic organisms living in volcanic vents
belongs to which kingdom?
KINGDOM ARCHEABACTERIA
4. A eukaryotic, single-celled organism found in a sample of pond
water belongs to which kingdom?
KINGDOM PROTISTA
Essential Question:
How would you determine if an
organism is in the Plantae
kingdom? The Animal kingdom?
Standard: compare the characteristics of
taxonomic groups including plantae and
animalia (B8C)

Organisms from the Kingdom Plantae are
multicellular eukaryotic organisms. Plants have
characteristics that make them different from other
eukaryotic organisms. One of the main differences
is that they are autotrophic, meaning they are able
to make their own food using simple inorganic
substances. They do this through a process
known as photosynthesis, in which plants convert
sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into sugar and
oxygen.
Photosynthesis
occurs
in
the
chloroplasts of a plant cell. Plants are
multicellular and, unlike animals, their cells have
rigid cell walls made from cellulose.
Some species of plants reproduce sexually
Kingdom
Plantae
and some reproduce asexually.
In asexual
reproduction, such as budding, an exact copy of
the parent is produced. Plant sexual reproduction
can be assisted by animals, as is the case with
flowers and honeybees. As the bees go from
flower to flower collecting nectar, they carry pollen,
plant sex cells, with them and pollinate other
plants. Pollination is the first step in plant sexual
reproduction.
The Kingdom Plantae is divided into 11
Phyla.
For example, Phylum Bryophyta are
mosses - small, soft plants that don’t have
flowers. They absorb water and nutrients through
their leaves, which are 1 cell thick.
Animals are a group of multicellular eukaryotic
organisms. The word animal comes from the Latin
word animalis meaning “having breath.”
Animals are different from other eukaryotes in a
number of ways. First, animal cells lack the rigid cell
wall that plants, fungi, and algae have. Instead, animal
cells are surrounded only by a cell membrane. Second,
animals are heterotrophic, meaning that they must
ingest other organisms in order to survive.
Heterotrophs are the consumers in the food chain.
Third, all animals are motile, or able to move, at least
during one stage of their life cycle.
Nearly all animals undergo some form of sexual
reproduction, where specialized sex cells form and fuse
together to form zygotes, which develop into
individuals. Some animals are also capable of asexual
reproduction, through budding or forms of cloning. The
Kingdom Animalia is divided into approximately 40
Phyla including Phylum Chordata, which includes all
the vertebrate animals, or animals with a backbone
and spinal column. Humans, as well as fish, birds,
reptiles, amphibians, and other mammals, belong to
the Phylum Chordata. Other phyla include Phylum
Arthropoda, to which crabs, spiders, and insects
belong; and Phylum Nematoda, which are the
roundworms.
