Study Notes
The 6 Kingdoms of Life
- The 6 kingdoms of life are: Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
- Archaebacteria are unicellular (one cell) organisms
- They are found in extreme environments such as hot boiling water, thermal vents, and highly acid environments with no oxygen
- Archaebacteria were first discovered in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, USA
- They were also found in deep-sea vents in the Pacific Ocean
Eubacteria
- Eubacteria are complex and single-celled organisms
- Most bacteria are classified in the EUBACTERIA kingdom
- Eubacteria are different from Archaebacteria due to their chemical makeup
- Some Eubacteria are helpful, producing vitamins and foods like yogurt, while others can cause diseases like strep throat
Protists
- Protists include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants, or fungi
- Most protists are unicellular
- Protists are complex cells, unlike bacteria
- Examples of protists are slime molds and algae
Fungi
- Examples of organisms in the kingdom fungi are mushrooms, mold, and mildew
- Most fungi are multicellular and consist of many complex cells
- Fungi are organisms that cannot make their own food, unlike plants
- Most fungi obtain their food from decaying plants in the soil
Plants
- Plants are autotrophs, making their own food
- Examples of organisms in the kingdom plants are flowering plants, mosses, and ferns
