What is an organism

1
What is an organism?

• An organism is a living thing.
• What traits do all living things have?

2
Traits of Living Things

• Organisms are made up of cells.
• Organisms need water, food and produce waste.
• Organisms reproduce.

3
Thats not all!

• Organisms grow and develop.
• Organisms respond.
• Organisms can adapt to their environment.

4
Classification

• Organisms are classified according to their
  traits
• Kingdom Genus
• Phylum Species
• Class
• Order
• Family

5
What am I?

• Kingdom Animal
• Phylum Chordata
• Class Mammalia
• Order Carnivora
• Family Canidae
• Genus Canis
• Species Canis Lupus

6
How can I Remember?

• King
• Phillip
• Came
• Over
• For
• Good
• Spaghetti

7
Early Classifications

• In the early 1700s, Swedish scientist Carolus
  Linnaeus, classified all organisms into two
  Kingdoms
• Animal and Plant.
• Today we have 5
• kingdoms. Can you
• name the 3 Linnaeus
• missed?

8
The 5 Kingdoms

• The Animal Kingdom has many cells and complex
  bodies. They are also consumers.
• Consumers eat other
• organisms.
• Ex deer
• butterflies
• humans

9
Respiration

• During respiration, cells break down simple food
  molecules such as glucose and release the energy
  they contain.
• C6H12O6 6CO2
• 6O2 6H2O energy

10
Plant Kingdom

• The Plant Kingdom has many cells and are
  producers.
• Producers make their own food.
• Ex Trees
• Flowers

11
Photosynthesis

• Photosynthesis is the process a plant uses to
  capture the energy in sunlight to make food.
• The photosynthesis equation
• Light Energy
• 6CO2 6H20 C6H12O6 6O2

12
The Sun

• Nearly all living things, directly or indirectly,
  get their energy from the sun.
• How do humans get their energy from the sun?

13
Did You Notice?

• The equations for photosynthesis and respiration
  are opposite.
• 6CO2 6H20 C6H12O6 6O2
• C6H12O6 6O2 6CO2 6H20
• Why is this important?

14
How Do They Produce Their Own Food?

• Chlorophyll is a green pigment which traps light
  from the sun, enabling the organism to carry out
  the process of photosynthesis.

15
Fungus Kingdom

• The Fungus Kingdom can be one or many celled.
  Fungi are consumers.
• A fungus can also be a parasite, which lives on
  or in another organism.
• Ex Mushroom
• Yeast

16
Protist Kingdom

• The Protist Kingdom can be one or many celled.
  There are plantlike and animal like protist.
• Ex Paramecium
• Euglena

17
Moneran Kingdom

• The Moneran Kingdom is one celled organisms that
  have no nucleus.
• Ex Cynobacteria
• Bacteria

18
Viruses

• A virus is a submicroscopic particle, which uses
  cells to duplicate itself to cause disease.
• Ex Rabies
• AIDS
• Chicken Pox

25
They Can Be Used For Good

• Viruses Bacteria
• Gene Therapy Food Products
• Vaccines Digestion
• Clean Oil Spills
• Recycling
• Medicines
• Cleaners

26
Dichotomous Key

• A dichotomous key is used to identify organisms
  by using a series of questions.
