1. Types of Cells
• There are main
types of cells:
Prokaryotic cells are
ones that do not
have a well-defined
nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells are
those that have a
nucleus with a
nuclear membrane.
2. Kingdom Monera
• Monerans include
all bacteria and one
type of algae: blue-
green algae.
• There are two
types of
bacteria:
Archaebacteria
and Eubacteria.
3. Kingdom Monera
• Archaebacteria are
an ancient line of
bacteria that live in
extreme
environments such
as hot thermal
vents. • Eubacteria, or “true
bacteria,” can be
either
harmful or helpful to
other organisms.
4. Prokaryotic Cells
• All organisms with
prokaryotic cells are
unicellular, or
composed of only
one cell.
• They belong to the
kingdom of Monera.
5. Eukaryotic Cells
• All other organisms that
are not in kingdom
Monera contain
eukaryotic cells.
• They can be either
unicellular or
multicellular (contain
many cells).
6. Kingdom Protista
• Eukaryotic
organisms with just
one cell belong to
the kingdom
Protista.
• Examples of protists
are
amoebas, euglenas,
paramecia, and
diatoms.
7. Kingdom Protista
• There are also a few
multicellular organisms
in the Protist kingdom.
• These are slime molds
or algae (seaweed)
whose cells are
arranged as colonies
but are not specialized
to serve different
functions.
9. Kingdom Fungi
• The members of
the Fungus
kingdom are all
decomposers that
use spores to
reproduce.
• Some examples
are
mold, mildew, and
mushrooms.
10. Multicellular Organisms
• The final three
kingdoms contain
organisms that are
truly multicellular.
• They all have
different types of
cells that each
perform special
functions and work
together to keep the
organism alive.
11. Kingdom Plantae
• The members of the
Plant kingdom are
all producers.
• This means that
they can make their
own food through
the process of
photosynthesis.
12. Kingdom Animalia
• The members of the
Animal kingdom are
all consumers.
• This means that
they get their food
from other
organisms by eating
them.
14. The Two Types of Cells
• Prokaryotic cells: • Eukaryotic cells:
cells that do not cells that have a
have a nuclear true nucleus
membrane containing the
around the DNA genetic material
