The Basics of

Diversity
Domains, Kingdoms and Cells…
So what are living things made
from and how are the parts put
together?
Biosphere - Our Earth is made up of all
living and non-living things. The interaction of
all these building blocks make up the
biosphere.

Ecosystem - Communities of living things


interact with non-living things. The air, earth
and water play an important role in the
building blocks of life.

Community - All animals and plants that


live in one place are considered a community.

Population- Individuals become the


building blocks for a species.
Individual- Individual people make up the community. Each
person has their own individual characteristics that make up
the diversity of the community.

Organs and Tissues- The human body, like most plants and
animals is made up of organs. Each organ is made of different
tissues. These tissues have their own characteristics and
function.
Cells- Tissues are made of cells. The cell is the smallest unit of
life. It means that the cell is the smallest living thing capable of
replicating.

Organelles- Cells are also made up of individual parts. The


interior of any cell has many types of little organs- called
organelles. All these organelles have their own functions to
perform within the cell.

Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids- What are


organelles made of? All the cellular organelles are made of
macromolecules like carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic
acids (DNA, RNA).
Atoms- To make macromolecules involves even smaller
building blocks. Atoms and their parts, neutrons, protons, and
electrons. There are 92 naturally occurring atoms (also called
elements) but only 11 of these atoms are found in a significant
amount in living things. It takes only two atoms to make a
molecule.
Two types of cells
A. Prokaryotes
 smaller, simpler type of cell that
DOES NOT have a membrane-bound
nucleus
 include: all bacterial cells

B. Eukaryotes
 larger, complex type of cell that
does have a membrane-bound nucleus
 includes: Plants, animals, fungi and
protist cells
Three Domains of Tree
of Life
a) Bacteria
o Consists of all the eubacteria
b) Archaea Prokaryot
ic cells
o Consists of archaeabacteria
c) Eukarya
o Consists of protists, fungi,
Eukaryoti
animals and plants c cells
Eukarya

Archaea
The Six Kingdoms
 Animalia
 Plantae
 Protista
 Fungi
 Eubacteria
 Archaeabact
eria
Animalia
The animal kingdom is the
largest kingdom with approx.
953, 434 described and
catalogued
Plantae
containsall the plants that you have
come to know - flowering plants,
mosses, and ferns

Approx. 298, 000 species described


and catalogued
Protista
Slime molds and algae
all microscopic organisms that
are not bacteria, not animals,
not plants and not fungi
Approx. 8,118 species described
and catalogued
Fungi
Mushrooms, mold and mildew
Fungi are organisms that biologists
once confused with plants,
however, unlike plants, fungi
cannot make their own food.
Most obtain their food from parts of
plants that are decaying in the soil

Approx. 43,271 species described


and catalogued
Eubacteria
Most eubacteria are helpful.
Some produce vitamins and
foods like yogurt.

However, these eubacteria,


Streptococci pictured above, can
give you strep throat!
Archaebacteria
found in extreme
environments such as hot
boiling water and thermal
vents under conditions with
no oxygen or highly acid
The hot springs of
environments Yellowstone National
Park, USA, were among
the first places
Archaebacteria were
discovered. The biologists
pictured are immersing
microscope slides in the
boiling pool onto which
some archaebacteria
might be captured for
study.
