Ch 3 notes #2 to fill out
the chart

Put an “X” on the characteristics that
kingdom has
KINGDOMS
1. MONERA (eubacteria)
*
*
*
*
unicellular
prokaryote
reproduce asexually – splitting
mostly heterotrophic – (absorb food)
EX: bacteria
OTHER FACTS:

The first living thing on earth was bacteria!

Main importance: to decompose/ break
down dead material

Many can cause diseases: such as typhoid,
cholera, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and
pneumonia
WHAT????
All the bacteria living inside
you would fill a halfgallon jug; there are 10
times more bacterial
cells in your body than
human cells, according
to Carolyn Bohach, a
microbiologist at the
University of Idaho
There are estimated to be
more than 500 species
living at any one time in
an adult intestine
2.
PROTISTA (250,000 species)
* unicellular
* eukaryote
* mostly asexual reproduction
* autotroph or heterotroph
EX: algea, ameoba, paramecium
OTHER FACTS:

Found mostly in water

Importance: used in detergents,
polishes, paint removers, insulators,
fertilizers, deodorizers,
plankton (food for marine animals)
•
One type causes malaria
The next kingdom was added in 1969
3.
FUNGI (100,00)
* mostly multicellular (except yeast)
* eukaryote
* reproduce asexually and sexually
(spores)
* most heterotrophic (absorbs food)
EX: mushrooms, fungus, mold
yeast
FACTS:
Importance: for decomposing dead
organisms, helping plants grow, food,
antibiotic Penicillin
Negative: some can be poisonous, kills
plants (crops), infections such as
athletes foot, spoil food, cause
allergies
Mold is used to make cheese, soy sauce
Yeast for making

Bread and beer and wine
2.
PLANT (350,000)
* multicellular
* eukaryotic with cell walls
* autotrophic
* sexual reproduction - seeds
EX: moss, ferns, grass, trees
FACTS:
IMPORTANCE: oxygen for us to
breathe, food, clothing, shelter,
medicines
5.
ANIMALIA (1,000,000)
* multicellular
* eukaryotic
* heterotrophic
* sexual reproduction
most complex organisms:
EX: horse, dogs, birds, humans, bugs
1st living thing bacteria

List the 5 kingdoms.
Which kingdom(s) is unicellular only?
What do you call a cell that has a
true nucleus?
What do you call an animals that
needs to eat food to survive?
What do the fungi and plant
kingdoms have in common?
EACH OF THE 5 KINGDOMS ARE
BROKEN DOWN INTO SMALLER
GROUPS BASED ON WHAT THE
ORGANISMS HAVE IN COMMON….

LESS ORGANISMS IN A GROUP
AS YOU GO DOWN
The lower you go, the more
related the organisms in the
group are because they have
more traits in common
The last two groups, genus and
species make up the scientific
name
Canis lupus
Graptemys geographica
Mephitis mephitis
Bufo Americanus
Loxodonta africana
Ursus americanus
Gorilla gorilla
Panthera leo
Panthera onca
