Kingdom Bacteria

• Evolution: – Bacteria were the 1st organisms on earth.

Other cells may have evolved from bacteria

• Development: – Singled celled = unicellular (sometimes

come in groups– Prokaryotes = no nucleus– Variety of sizes

Kingdom Bacteria

• Homeostasis: Cell wall called capsule for protection

• Continuity: Reproduce by splitting – Asexually - Called “binary fission”

• Ecology: Bacteria are EVERYWHERE! – They interact with everything

Protista Kingdom

• EX: brown and red algae, diatoms, cillitates, slime molds

• Energy: Have chloroplast organelle for photosynthesis– Autotrophs = make own food

Protista Kingdom

• Development:– Single celled (BUT can grow in colonies)– Eukaryotes – have a nucleus

• Continuity:– Asexual reproduction– Sexual reproduction

Protista Kingdom

• Ecology: – Live in wet areas– Interactions will all living organisms, including

you!– Plasmodium Malaria

Kingdom Fungi• Evolution: Evolved to be multicellular =

many cells

• Homeostasis: Have cell wall

• Energy:– Decomposers = release enzymes into

environment to break down dead material– ALSO heterotrophs = consumers

Kingdom Fungi

• Continuity: Sexual reproduction– Spores released into air

Kingdom Fungi

• Development: Have special cells called hyphae aids in water/nutrient absorption

• EX: Mushrooms,

– Yeast, molds

Plantae Kingdom

Homeostasis:– Has rigid cell wall

Evolution: 1st multicellular organismMore cells = more complex.

• Energy:– Chloroplast – photosynthetic– Autotrophs – make own food

Plantae Kingdom

• Continuity:– Sexual reproduction: cross pollination– Asexual reproduction: self-fertilization

– EX: Trees, flowers, grass, moss, lichen (land and water)

Kingdom Anamalia• Evolution: We are the most advance and

evolved kingdom!

• Homeostasis:

–Human = shiver, sweat

–Animals have skin, fur, scales

–Dogs = pant when it’s hot

–Reptiles = cold blooded

Kingdom Animalia

• Energy: Consumers – we eat other organisms

• Continuity: Sexual reproduction

–Embryos

–Fish or bird eggs OR live babies
