5 Kingdoms of Organisms
Something that is alive is called an organism
Something that is living, but is microscopic is called a microorganism
The simplest organism is the moneran

Animals that have a constant body temperature, no matter whether the environment is warm or cold, are called
warm-blooded.
Animals that have do not have a constant body temperature, so their environment affects their body temperature,
are called cold-blooded.
Example
Protista Kingdom
Amoeba
Move with pseudopods; (false
feet)
Live in fresh water
(ponds/puddles)
Euglena
Move with flagellum; whip-like
structure
Makes its own food with
chlorophyll
Detects light with its red
eyespot
Paramecium
Moves with cilia; small hair-like
projections all around the
organism
A microscope must be used to view monerans and protists
Protists and Monerans are each made up of how one cells
Protists can be found in or around water
Animals are classified into two main groups, vertebrates (with a backbone) and invertebrates (without a
backbone)
Monerans are missing a nucleus that other livings things have.
When looking at a picture of a moneran and protist, how can you tell them apart? Monerans don’t have a nucleus
Bacteria
Helps fight bad bacteria; helps digest food
Beneficial
Harmful
Fungi (absorbs their food)
Used to make certain inks, dye, liquid glue, some
cheeses, some medicines
Found in: yogurt, penicillin, sour cream, used in other
medicines
Causes illnesses; found in raw meat; multiplies to
grow larger (grows in number not size); slow
temperature slows the bacteria down; hot
temperature kills bacteria
Yeast makes bread
Causes illness (athlete’s foot, ringworm); some
mushrooms are poisonous; mold grows on walls; likes
dark, damp climates
Examples: e. coli, salmonella, pink-eye, influenza,
diarrhea
The plural form of fungus is fungi

Bacteria cause cholera, an often fatal disease.
A virus causes polio, which sometimes leads to paralysis.
Fungi and bacteria are used to produce antibiotics.
A fungus is used to make riboflavin, an important vitamin.
A protozoan causes a fatal form of meningitis.
Sauerkraut is produced by fermenting cabbage with bacteria.
Bacteria are used to ferment milk to produce cheese.
Scientists classify plants into 2 groups: vascular and non-vascular plants
Vascular Plants
Has a tube-like system that carries water & nutrients
to all parts of the plant
Can grow very tall
Examples: trees, bushes, flowers, vines, grass
Seeds & Cones
Explanation
Examples
Has pollen (yellow dust
that helps plants
reproduce)
The pollen is found in
flowers or inside cones
Some produce fruits
Pollen is spread by the
wind, bees & insects, and
birds
Flowers, pine trees, apple trees
Non-Vascular Plants
Do not have tube system
Have to absorb there water and nutrients
Live in moist environments
Are very short; grows close to the ground
Examples: moss, liverworts
Spores
Found on the underside of
leaves
Looks like tiny doughnuts
They fall off the leaves
and land on moist ground
ferns
Part of the Plant
A new plant grows from a
part of the old plant
Part of the stem gets
buried and grows roots
and then sprouts a new
plant
Eye of a potato, strawberries,
some grasses
