The Six Kingdoms!

Scientists classify organisms into 6 different kingdoms based on:

1) The presence of a nucleusEukaryotic/Prokaryotic

2) The number of cellsUnicellular/Multicellular

3) The ability to move4) The method of obtaining food

Environment:Within every habitat on EarthEven in you! (There are 10x the

number of bacteria cells in you body than human cells)Reproduction:

Asexual – Binary Fission

Eubacteria

Begin to think about your poem….. Example:

And now my friends….if I ran the zoo.I’d organize the other bacteria in the kingdom of “Eu”These unicellular creatures would be happy as clams.Living in a great many habitats and lands.In the sea, in the air, in my yogurt and shoe,My prokaryote friends would multiply in two!Oh yes, the great process of binary fission – Don’t you remember cellular division?

They’d decompose the dead, and produce their own food.Can’t you see it now Zoologist dude?

Cell Type: Eukaryotic Movement: Cell Wall? Present in some Some are able# of Cells: Uni/Multi Cellular Flagella, cillia, pseduopods

Environment:Feeding: Must live in water! Photosynthesis Organic Compounds (plants/animals)

Most can move

Virtually everywhere!!*Require oxygen*Must obtain homeostasis

Sexually or Asexually

Eukaryotic : There are 60,00 different typesSome Possess Cell WallsUnicellular or Multicellular (but they do not have specialized tissues)Obtain food:

PhotosynthesisOrganic Compounds

(Plants/Animals)Movement:

Environment:Must live in liquid (water)

Reproduction: Sexual or Asexual

PhotosynthesisRequire: Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Water, Essential Nutrients (from

soil)Movement:

Most of plant = non-mobilePlants will grow toward light, leaves move

Environment:Plants are found virtually everywhereExcept: Arid deserts, arctic, deep ocean

Reproduction: Sexual /Asexual

Fun Fact!Carvings in tree stems will not move!

~Through hyphae“Grow to get food”

Environment:Found in most ecosystemsPlay major roles as decomposers

Reproduction: Sexual or Asexual (spores)

Fun Facts! The largest fungus is 2,200 acres big! It takes 50-100 years for fungi to

decompose a tree
