The 5 Kingdoms

1
The 5 Kingdoms

• 7th GRADE SCIENCE
• DIVERSITY UNIT

2
Kingdom Monera

• Simplest life forms.
• Single-celled, living in chains or clusters.
• Subdivided into bacteria (consumers) and
  Cyanobacteria (producers with chlorophyll)

3

4
Kingdom Protista

• More complex than Monera.
• Contain nuclei, and organelles (little organs)
• Subdivided into two groups Protozoans and Algae

5
Protozoans

• No cell walls or chlorophyll so they are
  consumers.
• Most can move (locomotion)
• Paramecium www.wilipedia.com

6
Algae

• Producers
• May live as single cells or form long chains
• Volvox

7
Kingdom Fungi

• Complex cell structures
• Divided into three groups Threadlike, Club, and
  Sac

8
Threadlike Fungi

• Example mold
• www.countway.med.harvard.edu/

9
Club Fungi

• Grow on soil or trees
• www.bioschool.co.uk

10
Sac Fungi

• Many cause disease
• One variety is edible (the morel)
• ALWAYS assume that fungi can harm!

11
Kingdom Plantae

• Multicellular, complex cell structure, with cell
  walls and chloroplasts
• Two groups vascular and nonvascular

12
Nonvascular

• Must live in moist environment because they cant
  conduct water.
• Examples
• moss ls.berkeley.edu/,
• liverworts www.kaimaibush.co.nz/

13
Vascular

• Wide variety of trees, and plants.
• Able to conduct water, minerals, and food through
  roots and transport.
• Can you think of a vascular plant?

14
Kingdom Animalia

• Divided into invertebrates and vertebrates.
• Invertebrates have NO backbone, vertebrates DO!

15
Invertebrates

• Coelenterates
• Flatworms
• Roundworms
• Segmented Worms

16
Coelenterate

• Mostly found in water
• Simple organisms
• Multicellular
• Organized
• Example Jellyfish

17
Flatworms

• Mainly parasitic
• Simple with flat shape
• http//evolution.berkeley.edu

18
Roundworms

• Also mainly parasitic living in the intestine of
  animals.

19
Segmented Worms

• Earthwormshave simple brain and heart
• www.tuppenceabag.co.uk

20
Mollusks

• Soft-bodied with developed organs and shells both
  internal and external.
• SQUIDhttp//oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/
• OYSTER//www.nature.com

21
Arthropods

• Largest animal group
• Includes animals that have exoskeletons such as
  insects, crabs, and spiders.
• Www.evergreen.edu
• Ant to right

22
Echinoderms

• Spiny-skinned
• Ocean animals
• Flexible body
• Starfish
• http//www.coast-nopp.org/

23
Vertebrates

• Have a backbone
• Includes
• FISH
• AMPHIBIANS
• REPTILES
• BIRDS
• MAMMALS

24
Fish

• Have gills, and most have fins.
• Breathe dissolved oxygen in water
• Subdivided
• Bony
• Cartilage
• Jawless

25
BONY FISH

• Catfish caught in Amazon Rain Forest of Peru
  www.Peru.edu

26
Cartilage Fish

• Shark is an example. Cartilage replaces bone.
  Hammerhead and Great White www.sharks.com

27
Jawless

• Most simple fish, usually do not have fins.
  Example lamprey www.pbs.org, wm

28
Amphibians

• Frogs, toads, salamanders
• Lead a double life with time spent on land and
  water http//web.ukonline.co.uk/

29
Reptiles

• Adapted to land
• Covered with hard plates or scales
• http//www.gotpetsonline.com, www.seaworld.com

30
Birds

• Light, hollow bones and large lungs allow for
  flight. www.bio.davidson.edu

31
Mammals

• Advanced nervous system
• Feed young milk from mammary glands
