New words from reading

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals.

Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom
Etc means etcetera
Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West.

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:
Keep pounds clean of fish get sick

Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

Big ideas from the reading
All living things are called organisms.
They are organised into 6 groups called kingdoms. Each group has certain characteristics that each organism must have.
Animals
Can move on their own
Are heterotrophic (can’t make their own food)
Must eat to survive
Vertebrates and invertebrates
Plants
They are Autotrophic (they make their own food)
Some are vascular and nonvascular.
If a plant has seeds or fruit, it is a flowering plant.
Eubacteria
Are made up of just one cell. They are everywhere. Some bacteria are good and some are bad.
Bacteria called decomposers break down dead plants and anacteria.
Archaebacteria
Can survive where no other organism can live.
Thermophiles, methanogens and halophiles
Fungi
Say it fun guy
Mushrooms are a fungi
They are heterotrophic (can’a make their own food)
Use enzymes to break down food

Protista
Are related to either plants, animals or fungi (one of them, not related to all of them at the same time)
