Overview
PARTS 1-3
1) Create one or more slides about each kingdom (Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia) with the following details: (20 points)
- 3 unique characteristics
- 3 ways in which reproduction can occur in that kingdom, including which types of organisms within the kingdom reproduce that way
- Example: Animalia can reproduce through sexual or asexual reproduction. Fish lay eggs and do not provide care to young. Mammals do provide care and typically have live birth. However, monotremes lay eggs. All mammals provide milk to their young
- How the organism feeds.
- If it is a heterotroph, describe how it obtains food or prey.
ALL SLIDES SHOULD INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO IMAGES!!
2) Choose ONE group that interests you from the options below and complete the tasks for that kingdom in your PowerPoint presentation. I suggest at least one slide per bullet point. Additionally, please use at least one image per bullet point. (20 points)
Bacteria and Archaea
- Describe each of the 5 major groups of bacteria (Find the groups in Figure 24.19 of your textbook.)
- Describe 3 ways in which bacteria can reproduce.
- Describe how prokaryotes move, feed, and metabolize
- Compare bacteria and archaea
Fungi
- Describe and compare the 5 phyla of fungi (figure 26.15) - I recommend a slide for each
- Describe how fungi reproduce
- Describe how fungi feed and metabolize
- Describe the types of environments in which fungi live
Plantae
- Compare non-vascular plants with vascular plants
- Include information about reproduction, life cycle, and how they acquire nutrients
- Include examples of non-vascular plants
- Compare seeded vs seedless plants
- Include information about reproduction, life cycle, and how they acquire nutrients
- Include examples of seedless plants
- Compare gymnosperms and angiosperms
- Include information about reproduction, life cycle, and how they acquire nutrients
- Include examples of gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- Compare non-vascular plants with vascular plants
Animalia
- Create a slide for each of the 8 phyla in figure 27.5 in your textbook
- Provide examples of each
- Provide 3 unique characteristics of each
- Describe Tetrapod adaptations that allowed them to colonize land.
Eukaryotes (broadly, includes protists)
- Compare protists to the other eukaryotes (plants, fungi, and animals).
- Compare the 4 supergroups of eukaryotes - provide a slide about each and an additional slide comparing them.
- Using figure 25.2 in the textbook, describe the early evolution of eukaryotes.
- Describe endosymbiosis and how multicellular life emerged. Include information about plastids and mitochondria and how they evolved.
3) Narrate your PowerPoint presentation using Panopto in Canvas (10 points)
