Kingdoms
The 6 kingdoms are...
animal, plant, cnidarian, monera, fungi, protoctista
The animal kingdom falls under two categories, they are...
vertebrate and invertebrate animals
The plant kingdom falls under two categories, they are...
seed and non-seed plants
porifera, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms, cnidarians, and annelids
a classification of living things that include vertebrate and invertebrate creatures
animal
The 5 categories of vertebrate animals are...
fish, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles
Seed plants can fall under 2 categories, they are...
angiosperms and gymnosperms
tell me about the respiration, bodies, reproduction and an example of a porifera
respiration: absorb oxygen (and nutrients) through pores
body: soft body with holes (called pores)
reproduce: forming a bud (small body part), which breaks off and grows into a new organism
example: sponges
a classification of living things that include both seed and non-seed plants
plant
tell me about the respiration, bodies, extremities and reproduction of mammals
respiration: lungs
bodies: skin and hair (some mammals have thick hair called fur)
extremities: most terrestrial (land) mammals have 4 legs (humans have 2 legs, 2 arms) and many have a tail. aquatic mammals have fins
reproduction: (almost all) viviparous
Non-seed plants, which don't have seeds and reproduce by spores, can fall under 2 categories, they are...
ferns and mosses
tell me about the respiration, bodies, reproduction and an example of a mollusc
respiration: absorb oxygen through gills
body: soft bodies and most have a hard shell, some have tentacles
reproduce: lay eggs (oviparous)
example: snails, mussels, oysters, octopus
a classification of invertebrates with soft bodies and some have tentacles (including jellyfish)
cnidarian
tell me about the respiration, bodies, extremities and reproduction of fish
respiration: gills
bodies: covered with scales
extremities: fins
reproduction: oviparous
these grow flowers, which is why they are also called flowering plants. fruit grows from the pollinated flowers and the seeds grow inside the fruit.
angiosperms
example: apple trees
tell me about the respiration, bodies, reproduction and an example of a cnidarians
respiration: absorb oxygen through their skin
body: soft bodies, some have long tentacles
reproduce: forming a bud (small body part), which breaks off and grows into a new organism
example: jellyfish
a classification of living things, most of which are multicellular but some of which are unicellular, that includes mushroom, mould and yeast
fungi
tell me about the respiration, bodies, extremities and reproduction of birds
respiration: lungs
bodies: covered with feathers
extremities: 2 legs and 2 wings
reproduction: oviparous
these produce cones and the seeds grow inside the cones. The largest group is called conifers and some conifer seeds are called nuts
gymnosperms
example: pine tree
tell me about the respiration, bodies, reproduction and an example of an arthropod
respiration: most use trachea, some have simple lungs others absorb oxygen through their gills
body: exoskeleton and jointed legs that bend
reproduce: oviparous
example: spiders, crustaceans, and insects
a classification of living things that are all unicellular (and therefore microscopic) and includes bacteria
monera
tell me about the respiration, bodies, extremities and reproduction of amphibians
respiration: gills, lungs and absorb oxygen through their skin
bodies: thin, smooth skin
extremities: four legs and (most) a tail
reproduction: oviparous - eggs laid in the water
These have special leaves called fronds and are anchored to the ground by roots, which also absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
ferns
tell me about the respiration, bodies, reproduction and an example of an annelid
respiration: some absorb oxygen through their skin but others have gills
body: long soft body, divided into rings called segments
reproduce: forming a bud (small body part), which breaks off and grows into a new organism but some are oviparous
example: leeches and segmented worms
a classification of living things that includes algae (both unicellular and multicellular) and protozoa
protoctista
tell me about the respiration, bodies, extremities and reproduction of reptiles
respiration: lungs
bodies: hard scales and some have a hard shell
extremities: (many) 4 legs, snakes have none though
reproduction: oviparous - eggs laid on land
these produce capsules and don't have roots. Instead they are anchored to the ground by rhizoids, and absorb water and nutrients through those along with their stem and leaves.
mosses
tell me about the respiration, bodies, reproduction and an example of an echinoderm
respiration: some absorb oxygen through skin, some have gills
body: some have sharp spines, some have arms and tentacles
reproduce: oviparous
example: sea urchins and starfish
