THE SIX KINGDOMS

ARCHAEBACTERIAEUBACTERIAPROTISTSFUNGIPLANTSANIMALS

What’s the difference?

KINGDOM is the largest and most general group.

So then species is…?

SPECIES is the smallest and most specific group.

CLASSIFICATION

All living things are classified into seven major groups:

Kingdom Phylum

Class Order Family

`

Genus Species

How am I going to remember that?

A pneumonic device to remember the levels of classification:

“Kings Play Cards On Fat

Green Stools.”

KINGDOM: ARCHAEBACTERIA

KINGDOM: ARCHAEBACTERIA

• Autotrophic or heterotrophic

• Unicellular (made up of ONE cell)• Prokaryotes(DO NOT have a nucleus)

WHAT IS A PROKARYOTE?

AN ORGANISM

THAT DOES

NOT HAVE A

NUCLEUS

KINGDOM: EUBACTERIA

• “TRUE BACTERIA”

• UNICELLULAR PROKARYOTES

• SOME AUTOTROPHS AND SOME HETEROTROPHS

KINGDOM: PROTISTA

• UNICELLULAR• EUKARYOTES• Live in MOIST

surroundings(ranging from

muddy puddles to ocean waters)

KINGDOM: PROTISTA

• SOME ARE AUTO- AND SOME ARE HETERO- TROPHIC

• SOME FORM CHAINS OR COLONIES• THE “JUNK DRAWER” kingdom

WHAT IS A EUKARYOTE?

A Eukaryote is an organism with a NUCLEUS.
