NAME: ________________________________________ Environmental Science: Six Kingdoms and Tropic Levels Pd: _________ Objectives: • List the 6 Kingdoms • Describe each kingdom: • Describe each level of the Energy Pyramid 6 Kingdoms Eubacteria Archaebacteria Fungi Plants Animals Protists Eubacteria Simple-single cell Organisms Help to maintain cycles of matter in the environment. Most bacteria are in this Kingdom In the soil, on plants and animals (inside and out), in the air, EVERYWHERE! Many are helpful to people: E. coli (live in our intestines) B. regularis (used in making yogurt) Some are Harmful to people: Streptococci (causes “strep throat”) Archaebacteria Live in extreme places Hot springs (boiling water!) Low / No oxygen areas High Acidity Simple Single celled organism Fungi Multicelled complex organism Examples: Mold Mildew Mushrooms Break down dead organisms Often look like plants Unlike plants they CANNOT make their own food (no photosynthesis) Obtain food from breaking down (decaying) Soil, plants, animals. (decomposer) Plants Multicelled organisms that produce their own food (producers) Over 250,00 thousand species ranging from: Flowering Plants Tiny Mosses Giant Trees Life could not exist without plants! Provide Oxygen Provide Food (transfers energy from sun to herbivores) Animals Largest Kingdom Over 1 million known species! Multi-celled organisms found in very diverse (different) locations Keep populations in check and allow for complex organisms. Depend on plants and other animals for survival (can’t make their own food) Primary consumer (herbivores) Secondary & Top consumers (carnivores, omnivores) Scavengers Protists “Odds and Ends” Kingdom Organisms can be VERY different from each other. Single cell and multi-celled organism Protozoan (single celled) Algae (multi-celled and single-celled) Most are single celled organism Not in the bacteria kingdoms because they are complex cells!
