  1. Classification of Organisms

  2. Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species King Phillip Called Oprah For Good Spices The Seven Level System

  3. Phylum Monera • Kingdom of monera is made up of simple single celled organisms. • Prokaryotic cells • Monerans’ have four Phyla

  4. Phyla of Monera • Phylum: Schizophyta- The largest phylum of Monera. Contains organisms commonly known as bacteria • Phylum: Archaebateria- primitive organisms that live in harsh climates • Phylum: Cyanophyta: Organisms known as blue-green bacteria • Phylum:Prochlorophyta: Monera that live in marine environments

  5. General Information • 5,000 species of monerans have been identified • Bacteria surround us- they are necessary for life but also cause disease • Bacteria is used in many different ways by modern science

  6. Uses of bacteria • Cause Decay- Useful in natural recycling • Used in food production- Change the original form of food into the product we eat • Medicine- Species of bacteria are used in the production of antibiotics • Feed for animals- Used in Aquaculture • Water Treatment- convert toxic substances in water into safe substances • Growing Crops- convert nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use

  7. Kingdom Protista • Single celled organisms • More complex than Monera • More than 65,000 organisms have been classified into the kingdom Protista • 9 Phyla in Kingdom Protista

  8. Phyla of Protista • Sarcodina- Have cell membranes that are flexible. Includes Amebas • Ciliophora- These organisms have tiny hairs called cilia to move around. • Zoomastigina- Have a long whip like structure called a flagellum for locomotion. • Sporozoa- Have know means of locomotion they are carried in the bodies of host animals

  9. Phyla of Protista • Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta- these are the five phyla of algae, algae are plant like organisms that can make there own food • Colonial algae are groups of algae cells that act as a unit and share functions needed for life

  10. How Protists Effect Life • Can cause disease • Used to polish or grind stones • Provide Food • Add Oxygen to water and air
