Title: The Six Kingdoms

The Six Kingdoms

  • Scientist places all living things into one of
    the six Kingdoms
  • They are in the Kingdom based on the
    characteristics of the organism
  • The Kingdoms are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria,
    Protista, Plant, Fungi, and Animals
  • Each organism in a KINGDOM is then placed in
    subgroups within the KINGDOM based on
    characteristics. The subgroups are phylum,
    class, order,
  • family, genus, species

  • The smaller the subgroup, the more
    characteristics the organisms have in common in
    that group
  • The bigger the subgroup, the fewer
    characteristics the organisms have in common.
  • Phylum is the largest subgroup
  • Species is the smallest subgroup

5
  • Members of subgroups may have different physical
    characteristics and still be in the same subgroup
  • Example Bulldogs and poodles look very
    different but they are still the same species.
  • Wolves look like some dogs but they are NOT the
    same species however, they are the same genus.

Since neither plant nor animal fits this
organism, scientists added another kingdom for
classifying organisms Protista!
  • Euglena are a species if single-celled organisms
    that live in pond water
  • Euglena are green and like most plants, can make
    their own food through photosynthesis.
  • What do you think this is?
  • Euglena can move about from place to place by
    whipping their tails called flagella.
  • Sometimes Euglena use food obtained from other
    organisms.

It is not a plant
Plants dont move and usually do not eat other
organisms. Does this mean Euglena are animals?
