The Six Kingdoms Guided Notes
__________________________________________________________________________
* We can use the FOLLOWING IMPORTANT terms to organize and classify organisms:
Unicellular
1. _____________________________________ - composed of only one cell (single-celled)
multicellular
2. _____________________________________ - composed of more than one cell
asexual
3. _____________________________________- reproduction involving only one parent
 KNOW THESE WORDS &
Sexual
4. _____________________________________ - reproduction involving two parents DEFINITONS!
Autotroph
5. _____________________________________ – can make its own food (producer)
Heterotroph
6. _____________________________________ - cannot make its own food (consumer)
Eukaryote
7. _____________________________________ - organism with cells that have a nucleus
Prokaryote
8. _____________________________________ - organism with cell(s) that do not have a nucleus
Bacteria
_____________________________________ Kingdoms
Monera
Bacteria used to be in only one kingdom (known as: _____________________________________)
• As we learned more about them, we separated them into 2 kingdoms
-Archaebacteria
– _____________________________________ eubacteria
and _____________________________________
archaebacteria
1. __________________________________________________________________________ Example 
•
_____________________________________
• Prokaryotes
• Autotrophs
• Unicellular
• Asexual
•
•
Extremophiles
Live in extreme environments (_____________________________________)
anaerobic
– Hot, acidic, salty, _____________________________________ (no oxygen)
– Sewage treatment plants, heating vents, etc.
Eubacteria
2. __________________________________________________________________________
•
• Most bacteria are eubacteria
• Prokaryote
_____________________________________
• Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
• Unicellular
• Asexual
_____________________________________
• “common bacteria”
protista kingdom
3. __________________________________________________________________________
• Include many widely ranging microbes, such as slime molds, protozoa, and primitive algae
Eukaryotes
• _____________________________________
Examples 
• Autotrophs & Heterotrophs
• There are animal-like, fungus-like, and plant-like protists 1. __________________________________________
• Most are unicellular, but some are multicellular
• Some are beneficial, but protists can cause diseases in humans 2. __________________________________________
• Have DNA inside nucleus
Marines
• All live in _____________________________________ or freshwater
3. __________________________________________
Fungi kingdom
4. __________________________________________________________________________
• By breaking down dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems.
– Heterotrophic
Decomposes
– _____________________________________
• all fungi are eukaryotic
• DNA found inside nucleus
• unicellular or multicellular
• Chitin
all fungi have a cell wall made of _____________________________________
– Fungi can be very helpful and delicious
– Found in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments
– many antibacterial drugs are derived from fungi
– Fungi also causes a number of plant and animal diseases like Athlete’s Foot
Plant kingdom
5. __________________________________________________________________________
•
• Multicellular
• Eukaryotes
• DNA inside nucleus
• Photosynthesis
Autotrophs (___________________________________)
• Cell wall made of cellulose
• Sexual and Asexual
Animal kingdom
6. __________________________________________________________________________
•
• Multicellular
• Eukaryote
• DNA inside nucleus
• Sexual and Asexual
• No cell walls
• Heterotrophs
Main Criteria for Kingdom Classification:

• Nuclear membrane
The presence or absence of a ________________________________________________________________ within the cell
• Unicellularity
_____________________________________ Multicellularity
vs. _____________________________________
• Nutrition
The type of _____________________________________ that the organism carries on
Viruses – the EXCEPTION to the RULE!
• Not
Most taxonomists do ___________________________ include the virus anywhere in the classification system.
• Smaller
Viruses are much _____________________________________ than bacteria and are ____________________
Not considered a cell
(can ONLY be seen under an electron microscope).
• Protein
They are made up of genetic material within a _____________________________________ coating.
•
Host cells
Viruses need living _____________________________________ to reproduce and they do NOT carry out
Metabolic activities
__________________________________________________________________________.
– Viruses do not move, grow, or carry out respiration, etc.
• Diseases
They cause _____________________________________ like the flu or chicken pox.
