Before we start…

What are the 7 levels of taxonomy?
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Kingdoms
Archaebacteria
 Eubacteria
 Protista
 Fungi
 Plantae
 Animalia

Archaebacteria
Prokaryotes (no nucleus)
 Live in extreme environments (deep ocean
vents, sulfur springs, and other oxygen
free environments
 Only several hundred species identified

Eubacteria
Prokaryotes (no nucleus)
 Found in most environments
 Have very strong cell walls and a less
complex genetic makeup than found in
archaebacteria
 Over 5000 species identified

Protista
Eukaryotes that lack complex organ
systems and
 Live in moist environments
 Unicellular or Multicellular
 3 types
-plantlike autotrophs
-animal-like heterotrophs
-fungus-like heterotrophs

Fungi
Unicellular or Multicellular
 Eukaryotes that absorb nutrients from
organic materials in the environment
(decomposers)
 More than 50,000 known species
 Do not move from place to place

Plantae
Multicellular Eukaryotic oxygen producers
 Autotrophic (photosynthetic)
 Cells have cell walls and chloroplasts
 More than 250,000 known species

Animalia
Multicellular Eukaryotic consumers
 Heterotrophs
 Nearly all are mobile (can move from
place to place)
 Cells do not have cell walls
