Title: Classification in the 6 Kingdoms
1Classification in the 6 Kingdoms
2Carolus Linnaeus
- Developed
- seven-level
- system of
- classification
1700s Swedish Scientist Father of Taxonomy Only
had __2__ Kingdoms Plants and Animals
3The 6 Kingdoms of Life
- Plantia
- Animalia
- Protistia
- Fungi
- Archaebacteria
- Eubacteria
4Plantia Kingdom
- Organisms (plants) that produce food through a
process called photosynthesis - Absorb Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen for
people to breathe - Produce covering and food for living organisms
- Plantia Kingdom is broken up in 12 different
phylums
5Animalia Kingdom
- This Kingdom is the most and least familiar to us
- Over 1,000,000 species are classified in this
kingdom - Animals are separated into 33 different phylums
(phyla) - The Arthropod phylum would probably be well over
10 million species if scientists could identify
every one in the rain forests
Chordata
Annelida
Echinoderm
6Fungi Kingdom
- Simple organisms having animal and plant like
characteristics - They are not producers (able to create own food)
- Decomposers- feed on remains of dead organisms
- 40,000 different species of Fungi
Mushrooms
Molds and Mildew
Toadstools
7Protistia Kingdom
- Set up to categorize all organisms that did not
fit into any other kingdoms - Organisms are unicellular and multicellular
- Made up of 60,000 different organisms
- Not bacteria
- Includes algae and slime molds
8Archaebacteria
E. Coli
- Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments
such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under
conditions with no oxygen or highly acid
environments. - unicellular (one cell) organisms
Cyanobacteria
Sulfolobus
9Eubacteria
- complex and single celled.
- Most bacteria are in the this kingdom.
- classified in their own kingdom because their
chemical makeup is different. - Most eubacteria are helpful. Some produce
vitamins and foods like yogurt. - Others make you sick, such as Streptococci (strep
throat)
E. Coli
Streptococci (strep throat)

12Binomial Nomenclature
- Scholars before Linnaeus used names that were as
long as 12 words to identify species - Linnaeus created Binomial Nomenclature to
simplify taxonomy - Elephas maximus
Genus Name First letter always CAPITALIZED Italici
zed or Underlined
Species Name Never capitalized Italicized or
Underlined

15Organism Binomial Nomenclature
Can you guess the common names of the following
organisms??
- Panthera leo
- Tulipa gesneriana
- Rangifer tarandus
- Canis familiaris
lion
tulip
reindeer

16Dichotomous Keys
An aid that is used to identify organisms and
that consists of answer to a series of questions
