Slide1The Study of Living ThingsSlideshow by Ms. Dickert

Slide2Living things are called ORGANISMS  MICROORGANISMS are tiny organisms  Living things carry out 5 BASIC LIFE FUNCTIONS  Living things  are made from building blocks called CELLS  Living things are classified into  5 groups, called KINGDOMS

Slide3Living things GROW  Living things use FOOD FOR ENERGY  Living things  GET RID OF WASTES  Living things REPRODUCE  Living things REACT TO CHANGES

Slide5Organisms are made from cells  Cells form tissues and organs that help the organism live  Cells  contain different parts that do different jobs  Plant cells and animal cells are different in some ways  

Slide6Cell wall for support (plants only)  Chloroplasts  for food-making (plants only)  Cell membrane, which hold everything in  Cytoplasm, which fills the cell with a jelly-like substance  Vacuoles, which hold food, water, and wastes  Mitochondria, which power the cell  Nucleus, which controls the cell’s activities  Chromosomes, found inside the nucleus, which controls how the cell develops

Slide7Plant Cell  Animal cell

Slide8CELLS are the smallest level  Cells make TISSUES (blood, bone, muscle, bark)  Tissues make ORGANS   (heart, stomach, leaf)  Organs make ORGAN SYSTEMS  (digestive system, circulatory system)  Organ systems make ORGANISMS (mouse, tree, dinosaur)

Slide9Organisms are classified by TRAITS, or characteristics  The largest classification group is the KINGDOM  There are 5 Kingdoms (Plant, Animal, Fungus, Bacteria, Protists)  Kingdoms are further broken down into smaller groups  KINGDOM – PHYLUM – CLASS – ORDER – FAMILY – GENUS – SPECIES  An organism’s scientific name is based on the last 2 – genus and species  Classification gives us a common naming system
