Ethan's Assignment: Create a book or PowerPoint presentation on Kingdom Classifications: 1. 6 pages: Cover page and 1 page per kingdom 2. Cover page must have your name, a picture and a title. 3. Include all 5 kingdoms in the book: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Monera 4. Kingdom pages must have the following:
6. Book needs to have color, be neatly done, and scientifically accurate. Format for scientific names: 1. Genus (the first word) must be capitalized. 2. Species (the second word) must be lowercase. 3. If typed, the scientific name must be italicized. 4. If written, the scientific name must be underlined. 5. Examples: a. Typed: Canus domesticus (dog) and Canus latrans (coyote) b. Hand-written: Canus domesticus (dog) and Canus latrans (coyote) Damon's Assignment: Create a book with each name of the Kingdoms. Provide 2 examples found in each kingdom. http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/lsps07_int_animalclass Organisms are divided into five major kingdoms. R.H Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification in 1969. The most common system of classification in use today is the Five Kingdom Classification. In this system all living organisms are divided into five kingdoms: The classification of living organisms according to Whittaker into five kingdoms namely are as follows: KINGDOM: MONERA Kingdo Monera - It consists of primitive organisms. The organisms are very small and single celled. They consists of prokarytotes which includes species like the bacteria, archae bacteria, cyanobacteria and mycoplasma. Example: bacteria. KINGDOM: PROTISTA Protista are single-celled eukaryotes and are mainlky aquatic. It includes diatoms, golden algae, euglena and protozoans like amoeba, paramoecium, plasmodium etc. They are mostly marine and photosynthetic. Example: paramoecium KINGDOM: MYCOTA Kingdom Mycota or Kingdom Fungi consists of network of thread-like structures called as mycelium. The bodies consists of long, thread-like structures which are called hyphae. These organisms are mostly saprophytes or parasites and also symbionts. This kingdom of fungi also includes lichens, mycorrhiza, etc. Example: aspergillus KINGDOM: METAPHYTA Kingdom Metaphyta or Kingdom Plantae are eukaryotic, mutlicellular plants, They contain chlororphyll pigment, which helps them prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis. This kingdom includes all types of plants like herbs, shrubs, trees, flowering and non flowering plants. Example: rose plant, mango tree, etc. KINGDOM: METAZOA Kingdom Animalia or Kingdom Metazoa are heterotrophic, eukaryotic, multicellular organisms. They lack cell wall. This kingdom includes all types of animals. Example: lion, peacock, etc. *Taken from http://biology.tutorvista.com/organism/five-kingdom-classification.html RESOURCES: http://anthro.palomar.edu/animal/table_kingdoms.htm http://www.ric.edu/faculty/ptiskus/six_kingdoms |
