What are the 6 KINGDOMS?
|
Organisms are placed into kingdoms based on their type of cells, their ability to make food, and the number of cells in their bodies.
There are 6 KINGDOMS: 1) archaebacteria 2) eubacteria 3) protists 4) fungi 5) plants 6) animals |
|
|
Archaebacteria
|
ancient bacteria that are
unicellular prokaryotes |
|
|
prokaryotes
|
Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus.
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
A dense area in a cell that contains nucleic acids-the chemical instructions that direct the cell's activities.
|
|
|
Eubacteria
|
unicellular bacteria that can be helpful (those that produce yogurt) or harmful (those that produce strep throat)
|
|
|
Protists
|
The "odds and ends" kingdom because its members are so different from one another. They are eukaryotes-their cells contain nuclei.
|
|
|
Eukaryotes
|
Organisms with cells that contain nuclei.
|
|
|
Fungi
|
Mushrooms, Molds, Mildew. Most fungi feed on dead or decaying organisms.
|
|
|
Plants
|
They are autotrophs (they make their own food) and feed almost all of the heterotrophs on Earth.
|
|
|
Animals
|
Multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food) found in diverse environments on Earth.
