Intro Description to the six biological kingdoms

1. Overview of the
Six Kingdoms
Bundren, 2008 1

2. What is Cell Type?
• Prokaryotic – describes an organism with cells
that do NOT have a nucleus
• Eukaryotic – describes an organism with cells
that do have a nucleus
Bundren, 2008 2

3. 1. The organism shown is
A.Prokaryotic DNA
B. Eukaryotic
CELL
MEMBRANE
Bundren, 2008 3

4. What is Cellular Organization?
• Multicellular – organisms are made up of more than
one cell
• Unicellular – organisms are made up of one cell
Bundren, 2008 4

5. 2. The organisms shown are
A.Unicellular
B. Multicellular
Bundren, 2008 5

6. What is Mode of Nutrition?
• Autotrophic – makes its own food
• Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it
consumes
Bundren, 2008 6

7. 3. The organism shown is
A. Autotrophic
B. Heterotrophic

9. Kingdom Archaebacteria
“extreme bacteria”
• Cell Type – Unicellular
• Cellular Organization – Prokaryotic
• Mode of nutrition –Autotrophic or
Heterotrophic
– Means that some species are autotrophs and
some are heterotrophs
Bundren, 2008 9

10. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Characteristics
• Reproduction – asexual
• Cell Wall – cell walls without peptidoglycan
• Habitat – live in extreme habitats such as hot
springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine
pools, black smokers
Bundren, 2008 10

11. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park – note the bright colors
from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water.

12. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Bundren, 2008 12

13. Kingdom Archaebacteria
• Archaebacteria can live deep
in the ocean near geothermal
vents called black smokers
• There is no light, so they
carry out chemosynthesis
instead of photosynthesis
Bundren, 2008 13

14. Kingdom Eubacteria
• Cell Type – Prokaryotic
• Cellular Organization – Unicellular
• Mode of nutrition – Autotrophic or
heterotrophic
• Reproduction – asexual
• Cell Wall – Thick cells walls with peptidoglycan
• Habitat – everywhere!!! (even inside you)
Bundren, 2008 14

15. Kingdom Eubacteria
• Procholorococcus – an autotrophic bacterium
Bundren, 2008 15

16. Kingdom Protista: “Catch All Kingdom”
• Cell Type – Eukaryotic
• Cellular Organization – Most unicellular, some
multicellular
• Mode of Nutrition – Autotrophic and
heterotrophic
• Reproduction – sexual and asexual
• Cell Wall – Some with cell walls containing
cellulose
• Habitat – all aquatic
Bundren, 2008 16

17. Kingdom Protista
Euglena - autotrophic
Volvox – a colonial protist
A slime mold Amoeba - heterotrophic
Bundren, 2008 17

18. Kingdom Fungi
• Cell Type – Eukaryotic
• Cellular Organization – Most multicellular
• Mode of Nutrition –heterotrophic
(decomposers)
• Reproduction – sexual and asexual
• Cell Wall –cell walls containing chitin
• Habitat – terrestrial
Bundren, 2008 18

19. Kingdom Fungi
Stilton cheese
Bread mold
Bundren, 2008 19

20. Kingdom Plantae
• Cell Type – Eukaryotic
• Cellular Organization – multicellular
• Mode of Nutrition – Autotrophic
• Reproduction – sexual
• Cell Wall – cell walls containing cellulose
• Habitat – aquatic and terrestrial
Bundren, 2008 20

21. Kingdom Plantae

22. Kingdom Animalia
• Cell Type – Eukaryotic
• Cellular Organization – multicellular
• Mode of Nutrition – heterotrophic
• Reproduction – mostly sexual
• Cell Wall – none
• Habitat – aquatic and terrestrial
