  1. The Six Kingdoms of LifeBy: Mr. Lowe

  2. Important New Vocabulary • Sessile=Not able to move about (stationary). • Vagile = Able to move about. • Heterotrophic =Organism that cannot make its own food. (example- humans) • Autotrophic = Organism that can make its own food. (example – plants = photosynthesis)

  3. Six Kingdoms • Kingdom Archaebacteria– Simplest • Kingdom Eubacteria– Simplest • Kingdom Protista • Kingdom Fungi • Kingdom Plantae • Kingdom Animalia – most complex

  4. Archaebacteria (ancient) • Number of Cells = Unicellular (one cell) • Nucleus = No true nucleus • Type of Cell = Prokaryotic • Movement = Sessile and Vagile • How They Move = Flagellum • Food Making = Autotrophic and Heterotrophic • Examples = Methanogens (produce methane), Halophiles (salt-loving), Thermophiles (high temperatures), Psychrophiles (low temperatures)

  5. Eubacteria • Number of Cells = Unicellular (one cell) • Nucleus = No true nucleus • Type of Cell = Prokaryotic • Movement = Sessile and Vagile • How They Move = Flagellum • Food Making = Autotrophic and Heterotrophic • Examples = Bacteria, Cyanobacteria(blue-green algae), Actinobacteria

  6. Protista • Number of Cells = Unicellular (one cell) • Nucleus = True nucleus • Type of Cell = Eukaryotic • Movement = Sessile and Vagile • How They Move = Flagellum, Cilia, Pseudopodia (false foot) • Food Making = Autotrophic and Heterotrophic • Examples = Ameoba, Diatoms, Paramecium

  7. Fungi • Number of Cells = Multicellular • Nucleus = Has a true nucleus • Type of Cell = Eukaryotic • Movement = Sessile • How They Move = N/A • Food Making = Heterotrophic (some parasites) • Examples = Yeast, Molds, and Mushrooms

  8. Plantae • Number of Cells = Multicellular • Nucleus = Has a true nucleus • Type of Cell = Eukaryotic • Movement = Sessile • How They Move = N/A • Food Making = Autotrophic (photosynthesis) • Examples = mosses, ferns, flowering plants (dandelions, roses, etc.), trees

  9. Animalia • Number of Cells = Multicellular • Nucleus = Has a true nucleus • Type of Cell = Eukaryotic • Movement = Sessile and Vagile • How They Move = legs, wings, fins, flippers, hands. • slither • Food Making = Heterotrophic • Examples = Worms, Insects, Arachnids, Mammals, Jellyfish, Coral, Sponges, Reptiles, Birds, Fish
