The 6 kingdoms of Classification in 3 minutes
6 kingdoms of classification in 3 minutesThe 6 kingdoms are
Animal
Plant
Fungi
Protist
Eubacteria
Archaea
The Animalia kingdom is an extremely diverse group of individuals
Some animals are giant, like the blue whale, whereas others are tiny, like an ant Some have complex nervous systems and are very intelligent, whereas others are simpler, like the sponge.
Some common traits
Animals are heterotrophs, which means they eat other organisms for food.
Animals are multicellular, meaning they are made up of more than one cell.
Animal cells are eukaryotic, animal cells contain membrane-bound organelles, or tiny organs, which help the cell undergo certain processes it needs to function.
In addition, animals use the protein collagen to attach cell tissue together.
Finally, animal cells are diploid, meaning each cell has a two pair of chromosomes. One pair is is usually from mom and one from dad
Plantae kingdom contains large trees and flowers. Let’s see what they have in common.
First plants are autotrophs. This means they can get their food from the sun.
Next, they are eukaryotes and contain a cell wall and plants are multicellular
Fungi range from mushrooms to yeast
Some mushrooms are multicellular and others a unicellular
Fungi are eukaryotes and contain a cell wall
Fungi are also heterotrophs
Some fungi are decomposers while others are parasites
Protista
Kingdom Protista has been called the junk drawer kingdom. Protist range from single-cell organisms like euglena to multicellular kelp Some are plant-like, others animal-like, some fungi like
As the catchall kingdom for eukaryotic organisms if it is a not animal, plant, or fungi it is thrown in the protist kingdom it is not surprising that very few characteristics are common to all protists.
Some protists are heterotrophs but others are autotrophs.
Most protists are found in moist environments
Eubacteria single cells prokaryotes which mean they don’t have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Have a cell wall, some move with a flagella
Eubacteria help digest food, make us sick, or help make yogurt
Archaea are prokaryotes like bacteria but are structurally different many handle extremes
Extreme temperatures, extreme salty conditions, or little or no oxygen
