Name: Period: Kingdoms Powerpoint The Six Kingdoms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia Three s: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya The main factors that determine which kingdom an organism is classified are: Prokaryotes- unicellular organisms that have a true nucleus bound by a membrane Used to be one group= Archaebacteria Structure: unicellular, lack membrane bound organelles Energy: Heterotroph: ( ) Autotroph: ( ) No in cell walls. Found in like salt ponds, deep sea vents, hot springs and sulfur springs Eubacteria Structure: Energy: Heterotroph- (gets energy from other sources like ingestion) Autotroph- (gets energy from sun, makes their own food) Has peptidoglycan in Found but extreme environments Many cause illness in humans DOMAIN- Protista Structure: Eukaryote (have true nucleus and other cell organelles)
Lack complex organ systems Energy: Autotrophic or heterotrophic Examples: Fungi Structure: (one celled) or (many celled) Energy: Heterotrophs ( ) Cell walls of Eukaryote (have true nucleus & cell organelles) Examples: Plantae Structure: multicellular,, complex organisms with organ systems (have true nucleus & cell organelles) Have a cell wall of Energy: All (photosynthetic) Examples: Mosses, ferns, trees, conifers, flowers, etc. Animalia : multicellular, complex organisms with organ systems Energy: Heterotroph ( ) get their food by eating or other No Examples: DOMAIN- Eukarya Unofficial Methods Mobile- Sessile- Virus No official universal consensus on if they are living or not Not a Viruses need a to multiply Host- an organism that provides Examples: Have and adapt to environment
Kingdom Characteristics and Relationships Part 1: Place an X in each column that describes the kingdom. Name: Period: Kingoms Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Uni-cell ular Multicellular Cell wall? Autotrophic Heterotrophic Eukarya Archaea Bacteria Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia Part 2: Answer the following questions using the data chart above. 1. Make a list of similar characteristics shared by Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Then make a list of their differences. 2. Make a list of similar characteristics shared by Plants and Animals. Then make a list of their differences. 3. Which domain holds the most kingdoms? What major characteristic is found in these kingdoms but is not found in the others? 4. Compare and contrast the Fungi and Animalia Kingdom. 5. Compare and Contrast the Fungi and Plantae Kingdom.
Which Kingdom do I belong to? When taxonomists discover a new species, what characteristics will they look at to classify the organism into the correct kingdom? Instructions: Read each paragraph below. Underline the determinant factors or characteristics, that will allow you to classify the organism into the correct kingdom. Then identify the kingdom the organism belongs to. 1. The Dendroaspis polylepis is the largest of its kind, can grow to 14 feet, and is considered to be very poisonous. It is a skillful hunter, using its venom and strong muscles to kill its prey. 2. The Phyllostachys nigra can grow to 35 feet and is found in tropical regions of the world. Despite its inability to move from place to place, it has well-designed organ systems to create its own nutrients and to transport those nutrients. 3. The Ornithorhynchus anatinus is a very strange organism both in appearance and behavior. It has special organs that allow it to sense the electrical impulses of its prey. 4. The Paramecium caudatum is a unicellular organism that has a membrane-bound nucleus. It has special hair-like projections called cilia that it uses for locomotion and to capture food. 5. The Streptococcus pyogenes is a single cell organism that lacks a true nucleus. It is commonly found throughout the world and is a major cause of human sickness. 6. The Amanita muscaria is a poisonous multicellular organism. Despite its inability to move from place to place, it is able to steal nutrients from dead and decaying organisms in its environments. 7. The Haloarcula hispanica is found in the hypersaline waters of southeastern Australia. 8. The Undaria pinnatifida is an edible plantlike organism found in the sea. It is photosynthetic, but lacks the organ systems to transport the nutrients in synthesizes.
Name: Period: Are Viruses Alive? 1. Scientists have been puzzled over the very important question: are viruses alive?. What could you use to decide if viruses are alive? 2. What are the characteristics of life (5) that you learned about in the previous unit? Directions : Watch the video, then complete the table below with the class. Living Non-living Questions: 1. Today, many scientists think viruses are alive, while many scientists think viruses are not alive. Why are there different opinions? What would you do to convince someone who disagreed with your ideas about whether viruses are alive or not? 2. In the space below, develop a logical argument regarding whether you believe that viruses are living or non-living. Include at least 3 pieces of evidence and explanation to support your argument.
