Six Kingdoms
A Brief Summary
6 Kingdoms• All living things are grouped into 1 of 6
kingdoms based on their physical traits
• Animal• Plant• Fungi• Protist• Bacteria• Archaea
Animal Kingdom• Major Traits• Multicellular• Heterotrophic - eat• Have nucleus• Most reproduce sexually• Vertebrates- have
backbone• Invertebrates- no backbone• Warm blooded -constant
temp.
• Cold blooded - temp. changes with surroundings
• Major Groups• Mammals• Birds• Fish• Reptiles• Amphibians• Invertebrates - worms,
coral, snails, bees, spiders, jellyfish, star fish
Animal Kingdom Video
Metamorphosis
• Major change in life cycle
• Examples: 1) Tadpoles to frogs– Gills/tail to lungs/legs
2) Caterpillar to butterfly- fur/crawl to wings/fly

Mammals• Have fur, mammary
glands to feed young• 3 Groups of Mammals1) Placental - give birth to
live young (dogs, humans)
2) Marsupials - pouched mammals (kangaroo)
3) Monotremes- egg-laying mammals (duck-billed platypus spiny ant-eater)

Plant Kingdom

Major Characteristics of Plants• Autotrophic- make food and
oxygen by photosynthesis• Most plants have roots, stems,
leaves• Roots- anchor plant, store food,
absorb water and nutrients• Leaves- major site for
photosynthesis• Stems- move water up to
leaves and food down to roots
(vascular tissue)
• Vascular Tissue– Xylem transports water– Phloem transports
food/nutrients
• Most plants reproduce sexually – Pollen - male– Ovules - femaleBrightly colored and sweet
smelling flowers attract pollinators, such as birds and bees.
Fungi Kingdom• Major Traits• Most are multicellular• Have “many nuclei”• Hetertrophic - absorb
nutrients from dead and decaying organisms
• Reproduce by spores• Made of hyphae- thin
thread like strands of cells
• 3 Groups of Fungi
1) Mushrooms- yummy - can be poisonous
2) Molds- used to make penicillin
3) Yeast- unicellular, used in baking, reproduce by budding

Protist Kingdom• Major Characteristics
• Unicellular, have a nucleus
• Live in watery environments
• Some are autotrophic (make food)
• Some are heterotrophic (ingest food)
• Move using flagella, cilia, pseudopods
• Examples: amoeba, paramecium, euglena, dinoflagellates

Bacteria and Archaea
• Bacteria– Unicellular– No nucleus– Reproduce asexually– Some are heterotrophic– Some are autotrophic– Different shapes
• Cocci, streptococci, bacillis
• Archaea– Unicellular– No nucleus– Reproduce asexually– Live in extreme
environments such as hot springs, and salt lakes
