Go to the back of your Ch 3 notes #2 to fill out the

chart

Put an “X” on the characteristics that kingdom has

KINGDOMS1. MONERA (eubacteria) * unicellular * prokaryote * reproduce asexually – splitting * mostly heterotrophic – (absorb food)

EX: bacteria

OTHER FACTS: The first living thing on earth was bacteria!

Main importance: to decompose/ break down dead material

Many can cause diseases: such as typhoid, cholera, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and pneumonia

WHAT????All the bacteria living inside

you would fill a half-gallon jug; there are 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells, according to Carolyn Bohach, a microbiologist at the University of Idaho

There are estimated to be more than 500 species living at any one time in an adult intestine

2. PROTISTA (250,000 species) * unicellular * eukaryote * mostly asexual reproduction * autotroph or heterotroph

EX: algea, ameoba, paramecium

OTHER FACTS: Found mostly in water

Importance: used in detergents, polishes, paint removers, insulators, fertilizers, deodorizers,

plankton (food for marine animals)

• One type causes malaria

The next kingdom was added in 1969

3. FUNGI (100,00) * mostly multicellular (except yeast) * eukaryote * reproduce asexually and sexually (spores) * most heterotrophic (absorbs food)

EX: mushrooms, fungus, mold yeast

FACTS:Importance: for decomposing dead

organisms, helping plants grow, food, antibiotic Penicillin

Negative: some can be poisonous, kills plants (crops), infections such as athletes foot, spoil food, cause allergies

Mold is used to make cheese, soy sauce

Yeast for making Bread and beer and wine

2. PLANT (350,000)

* multicellular

* eukaryotic with cell walls

* autotrophic

* sexual reproduction - seeds

EX: moss, ferns, grass, trees

FACTS:

IMPORTANCE: oxygen for us to breathe, food, clothing, shelter, medicines

5. ANIMALIA (1,000,000)

* multicellular

* eukaryotic

* heterotrophic

* sexual reproduction

most complex organisms:

EX: horse, dogs, birds, humans, bugs

1st living thing - bacteria

What were the 5 kingdoms?

WARM UP #3 10/6 5 pts1. List the 5 kingdoms.2. Which kingdom(s) is unicellular only?3. What do you call a cell that has a

true nucleus?4. What do you call an animals that

needs to eat food to survive?5. What do the fungi and plant

kingdoms have in common?

EACH OF THE 5 KINGDOMS ARE BROKEN DOWN INTO SMALLER GROUPS BASED ON WHAT THE ORGANISMS HAVE IN COMMON….

LEVELS OF CLASSIFICATION

1. Kingdom (largest group)

2. Phylum

3. Class

4. Order

5. Family

6. Genus

7. Species (smallest group - all the same type)

Kings

Play

Chess

On

Flat

Game

Surfaces

LESS ORGANISMS IN A GROUP AS YOU GO DOWN

The lower you go, the more related the organisms in the group are because they have more traits in common

The last two groups, genus and species make up the scientific name

Canis lupus

Graptemys geographica

                            

Mephitis mephitis

Bufo Americanus

Loxodonta africana

Ursus americanus

Gorilla gorilla

Panthera leo

Panthera onca

Apis mellifera

                   

The classification of humans

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primata Family: Hominadae Genus: Homo Species: sapiens
