Six Kingdoms

SIX KINGDOMS

Edward Choi

PLANTAE Plants are all multi-cellular and consist of complex cells. They photosynthesize in order to live. They heavily rely on

the environments that are surrounding them. They need sunlight Second largest kingdom among the six Phyla

Bryophyta (mosses)Heptophyta (liverworts)Aththocerophyta (hornworts)Psilotophyta (whisk ferns)Lycophyta (club mosses)Sphenophyta (horsetails)Pterophyta (ferns)Cycdophyt (cycads)Gynkgophyta (ginkgoes)Coniferophyta (conifers)Gnetophyta (gnetophtes)Anthophyta (flowering plants)

EXAMPLES OF PLANTAESunflowers

Iris

Most plants get food from pho-tosynthesis. They mostly get their en-ergy from sun-light that will go into chloro-plast to make sugar. Plants live in various places such as swamps, grass-land, and even deserts.

ANIMALIA Largest kingdom with over 1 million known species All animals consist of many complex cells. They are also heterotrophs. They move Phyla

Sponges : Porifera Cnidarians : Cnidaria Flatworms : Platyhelminthes Roundworms : Nematoda Mollusks : Molluska Annelids : Annelida Arthropods : Arthropoda Echinoderms : Echinoderm Chordates : Chordata

EXAMPLES OF ANIMALIA

TigersBirds

Members of Animalia are found in the most di-verse environments in the world

FUNGI 3rd largest kingdom within the 6 kingdoms Multicellular and consists of many cells Have nuclei Does not move Autotrophic Phyla

Ascomycota Basidiomycota  Zygomycota Deuteromycota 

EXAMPLES OF FUNGIMold

Fungi are organ-isms that biolo-gists once con-fused with plants, however, unlike plants, fungi cannot make their own food. Most obtain their food from parts of plants that are decaying in the soil. Some fungi may kill you

Puffball

PROTISTA Made of one cell Has a true nucleus (eukaryote) Some of them move Some are autotrophic and some are heterotrophic The members are so different from one another The fourth biggest kingdom of six Phyla

I. Plant-like Protists (Algae) - 6 phyla                  Euglenophyta (Euglenas)        Chrysophyta (Diatoms)        Pyrrophyta (Dinoflagellates)        Chlorophyta (Green Algae)        Rhodophyta (Red Algae)        Phaeophyta (Brown Algae)

II. . Animal-like Protists (Protozoa) - 4 phyla       Sarcodina (Sarcodines)        Mastigophora (Flagellates)        Ciliophora (Ciliates)        Sporozoa (Sporozoans)

III. . Fungus-like Protists - 2 phyla       Myxomycota (Slime molds)        Oomycota (Water Molds & Mildews)

EXAMPLES OF PROTISTA

Amoeba Diatom

EUBACTERIA Complex and single celled Most bacteria’s are Eubacteria They are classified in their own kingdom be-

cause their chemical makeup is different The 2nd last biggest kingdom of the six Phyla

Heterotrophs Autotrophs Chemotrophs

EXAMPLES OF EUBACTERIA

Eubacteria mostly live in oceans

Bacillus anthracis

ARCHAEBACTERIA The smallest kingdom of the six One cell Complex cells Phyla

Methanogens Halophiles Thermoacidophiles

EXAMPLES OF ARCHAEBACTERIA

Methanobre-vibacter smithii

Archaebacteria are found in ex-treme environments such as hot boiling waterand thermal vents under conditions with no oxygen or highly acid environ-ments
