14.2 The Six Kingdoms
C. The Six Kingdoms of Organisms
Three main characteristics that distinguish
the members of each kingdom
a. Cellular type (complex or simple)
b. Their ability to make food
c. The number of cells in their body
SIX KINGDOMS


ARCHAEBACTERIA (Prokaryotes)
EUBACTERIA (Prokaryotes)
FUNGI (Eukaryotes)
PLANTS (Eukaryotes)
ANIMALS (Eukaryotes)
PROTISTS (Eukaryotes)
Prokaryotic Kingdoms



Prokaryotes - organisms with cells that
lack a nuclei bounded by a membrane
Originally the two bacteria were grouped
together in one kingdom called Monera.
Now they are separated into two
kingdoms: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Kingdom Archaebacteria
A. Prokaryotic
1. Unicellular
2. Chemotrophic, Autotrophic or
Heterotrophic
B. Found in extreme environments
1. Swamps, deep-ocean
hydrothermal vents
2. Oxygen free environments
C. Has Cell Walls
Examples: halobacterium,
methanogens and
thermoacidophiles
Kingdom Eubacteria
A. Prokaryotic
1. Unicellular
2. Autotrophic or
Heterotrophic
B. Most species of bacteria are in
this kingdom since they Live in
most environments
C. Has Cell Walls
D. Some cause diseases
Ex: Strep throat and
pneumonia
E. Most are harmless and many
may be helpful
(Streptococcus pneumoniae)
Kingdom Fungi
A. Eukaryotic
1. Most are multicellular, some are unicellular
2. External heterotrophs; decomposers
3. Has Cell Walls made of Chitin
4. Examples:
Mushrooms
Mold
Mildew
Kingdom Plantae
A. Eukaryotic
1. All multicellular
2. Autotrophs and photosynthetic (Use of
chlorophyll for solar-energy transformation)
3. No species can move from place to place.
B. Second largest kingdom
C. Has Cell Walls made of Cellulose
Examples : mosses, giant trees, angiosperms,
ferns
Kingdom Animalia
A. Eukaryotic
1. Multicellular with complex cells
2. Heterotrophs with specialized organ
systems
3. NO CELL WALLS
B. Largest kingdom
C. Nearly all are able to move from place to
place.
Examples: vertebrates, invertebrates
Kingdom Protista
A. Eukaryotic
1. Most are unicellular, some are
multicellular with cilia and flagella
2. Lacks complex organ systems
3. Autotrophic and/or Heterotrophic
4. Has cell walls
B. Lives in moist environments (pond
water)
C. Members are very different from
one another Examples:
1. plantlike (algae)
2. animal-like (protozoa)
3. fungus-like (slime molds)

Which of the following describes a
fungus?
A. autotrophic prokaryote
B. unicellular or multicellular
heterotroph
C. unicellular autotroph
D. heterotrophic prokaryote
Six Kingdoms Summary





Kingdoms Archaebacteria and Eubacteria contain
only unicellular prokaryotes.
Kingdom Fungi includes heterotrophic
eukaryotes that absorb their nutrients.
Kingdom Plantae includes multicellular
eukaryotes that are photosynthetic.
Kingdom Animalia includes multicellular,
eukaryotic heterotrophs with cells that lack cell
walls.
Kingdom Protista contains eukaryotes that lack
complex organ systems.
