FIVE KINGDOM CLASSIFICATION

Moneran
Bacteria Prokaryotic No nucleus Have cell wall Unicellular Can be heterotrophic or autotrophic

Protist
Protozoans, algae Eukaryotic Have nucleus Some have cell wall Mainly unicellular Can be heterotrophic or autotrophic

Fungi
Mushroom, yeast Eukaryotic Have nucleus Have cell wall Mainly multicellular heterotrophic

Plant
Moss, fern, trees, flowers Eukaryotic Have nucleus Have cell wall All multicellular autotrophic

Animal
Sponge, annelids, amphibians, birds, mammals Eukaryotic Have nucleus No cell wall All multicellular heterotrophic

DICHOTOMOUS KEY
Always begin with #1 Follow directions using choices given What shape is Gina? Equilateral triangle

TYPES OF PLANTS

Bryophytes
Non-vascular No xylem or phloem Examples are mosses They are small Have to be near water No pollen, seeds, flowers, or fruits

Gymnosperms
Vascular Xylem to move water Phloem to move food Examples are conifers Have pollen (sperm) Have seeds on cones No fruits or flowers

Angiosperms
Vascular Xylem to move water Phloem to move food Examples are flowering plants like oak trees, corn, and roses Have pollen (sperm) Have seeds in fruits Have flowers

PLANT ADAPTATIONS
FLOWERS AND FRUITS R O O T, S T E M , L E A F
Flowers have bright petals to attract pollinators Pollen (Sperm) can be transferred by animals

Roots are adapted to absorb water with root hairs Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis by being flat and green Stems move water with xylem

When egg joins with pollen, a seed is formed in the ovary

The ovary becomes the fruit Fruit surrounds and protects seed Fruit also helps get baby plants in seeds away from parent plant

TYPES OF ANIMALS

Annelids
Segmented worms No backbone breathe through skin Closed circulatory system External fertilization External development

Insects
No backbome Three body segments Six legs Wings Open circulatory system External fertilization Females may store sperm External development metamorphosis

Amphibians
Have backbone Moist skin Gills when young, lungs when adult Three chambered heart Cold-blooded External fertilization External development Metamorphosils Jelly like egg

Mammals
Backbone Hair Milk glands Lungs Four chambered heart Warm-blooded Internal fertilization Internal development Amniote egg
