6 Kingdoms

Formerly grouped as
one kingdom known
as the Monerans.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
These four kingdoms
Fungi
are believed to have
evolved from the
Plantae
Archaebacteria.
Animalia
Cell Types
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
• No nucleus
• No membrane-bound
organelles
• Most cells are
1 -10 μm in size
• Evolved 3.5 billion
years ago
• Found only in
Archaebacteria and
Eubacteria Kingdoms
• Has nucleus
• Many organelles
• Cells can be between
2 - 1,000 μm in size
• Evolved 1.5 billion
years ago
• Includes Protista,
Fungi, Plantae and
Animalia Kingdoms
Types of Nutrition
• Autotrophs: (able to make own food)
1.) Photosynthetic -organism that uses energy
from the sun to make its own food
2.) Chemosynthetic -simple nonliving chemical
nutrients such as H2S, sulfur, and iron are
consumed and made into living tissue;
makes its own food
• Heterotrophs: (unable to make own food)
1.) Ingestion: organism eats other organisms or
their organic byproducts
2.) Absorption: produces enzymes that break
down food particles outside the body, then
absorb the digested molecules
Kingdom Archaebacteria
• Cell Type: prokaryotes (original life form on
earth; gave rise to eukaryotes)
• Body Forms: unicellular
• Cell Structure: have cell walls that contain
lipids found in no other organism; have
genetic material but lack nuclear
membrane or other membrane-bound
organelles.
• Nutrition: autotrophs or heterotrophs
• Habitat: extreme environments such as d
deep sea volcanic vents, hot springs
Kingdom Archaebacteria
Other Important Information: fewer than 100
species are believed to exist
Sketches of Cellular Examples:
Examples: methanic bacteria, halophile bacteria,
anaerobic bacteria
Kingdom Eubacteria
• Cell Type: Prokaryotes - considered the
“true bacteria”
• Body Forms: unicellular
• Cell Structure: cell walls made of
peptidoglycans; have genetic material but
lack nuclear membrane and membranebound organelles
• Nutrition: photosynthetic and
chemosynthetic autotrophs;
heterotrophic forms too
• Habitat: Common environments – land,
water and air; live in and on organisms
Kingdom Eubacteria
Other Important Information: extremely
diverse – more than 5000 species exist.
Ecologically important as decomposers.
Symbiotic relationships with humans –
mutualistic in gut; parasitic when they cause
disease.
Sketches of Cellular Examples:
Examples: Anthrax, E. coli, Salmonella,
Gonorrhea
Kingdom Protista
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Body Forms: mostly unicellular, some
multicellular, some colonial
• Cell Structure: have a nucleus with
genetic material and other membranebound organelles; some have cell walls
made of cellulose, pectin or silica
• Nutrition: photosynthetic autotrophs and
heterotrophs that use ingestion or
absorption
• Habitat: freshwater and ocean water, in
and on organisms
Kingdom Protista
Other Important Information: the “catch-all
kingdom”; range from microscopic to 150
feet long in size; some are animal-like,
some are plant-like; some cause disease.
Sketches of Cellular Examples:
Examples: kelp, algae, slime mold,
Paramecium, Amoeba, Euglena, diatoms
Kingdom Fungi
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Body Forms: some unicellular, most
multicellular
• Cell Structure: have a nucleus with genetic
material and other membrane-bound
organelles but lack chloroplasts; cell walls
made of chitin; some have more than one
nucleus and some have openings
between adjacent cells
• Nutrition: heterotrophic (absorption)
• Habitat: most are terrestrial, some live on or
in organisms
Kingdom Fungi
Other Important Information: Ecological
importance as decomposers. Many have
relationships with other organisms. In humansparasitic fungus cause athlete’s foot and ringworm.
Mutualistic examples too: mychorrizae in plants
and lichens with algae.
Sketches of Cellular Examples:
Examples: bread mold, yeast, mushrooms, mildew,
mold, truffles
Kingdom Plantae
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Body Forms: multicellular
• Cell Structure: have a nucleus with
genetic material and other membranebound organelles; have chloroplasts;
cell walls made of cellulose; have large
central vacuoles; vascular plants have
advanced tissues and organs
• Nutrition: photosynthetic autotrophs
• Habitat: mostly terrestrial
Kingdom Plantae
Other Important Information: plants are the
base of terrestrial food chains; more than
262,000 species exist
Sketches of Cellular Examples:
Examples: moss, ferns, pine trees, oak trees,
shrubs, flowers, grass
Kingdom Animalia
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Body Forms: multicellular
• Cell Structure: have a nucleus with
genetic material and other membranebound organelles; but no chloroplasts
and no cell walls; most have advanced
differentiation of tissues and complex
organs
• Nutrition: heterotrophic
• Habitat: land, water, air
Kingdom Animalia
Other Important Information: the most
diverse of all kingdoms in appearance; most are
motile (they can move)
Sketches of Cellular Examples
Examples: sponges, worms, snails, insects
(ants, grasshoppers), birds, snake, fish,
elephant, human
