The virtual lab
classification activity, the dichotomous key of classification of organisms of
the six kingdoms.
1. Introduction:
There are six
kingdoms of nature named: Bacteria, Plantae, Animalia, Protist and Fungi, they
are divided by their different characteristics by the dichotomous key.
Theoretical
background
Bacteria:
Bacteria or monera are the
organisms that or single cell, without nucleus, divided into eubacteria and
archaebacteria. They feed by energy, some have locomotion, some make food and
some find it, and live on free environments.
Protist or algae:
The protist are organisms that have single cell with
nucleus that produce their own food and other find it and some have locomotion,
also has lack complex organ systems
Fungi:
The fungi are one or many celled organisms that don’t
produce food, has no locomotion and has cells with nucleus.
Plants:
Plants are multicellular organisms with cell-wall, no
locomotion and make their own food by the photosynthesis process.
Animals: Multicellular organisms that look for their
food have locomotion, cells with nucleus.
The dichotomous key is a way to organize the living
things of the world by their characteristics and place them on one of the 5
kingdoms, then into a phylum, a class, an order, family, genus, and species.
The dichotomous key is very useful for the taxonomy.
Some of the characteristics are the number of cells the nuclei and the
locomotion, also their organ systems help to identify the new living things of
the world. The dichotomous key identifies the organisms by their
characteristics,
2. Objectives:
a) Classify each
living thing and each kingdom and give a kingdom for that organism.
b) Identify the
kingdoms by their characteristics.
c) To classify the
living things.

4. Procedure:
·
Pick each specimen from the table and dragged to the
magnifying lens to see it better and get information of it.
·
Use those characteristics to set the specimen on a
kingdom box, you can use the information that kingdom boxes give.
·
Click on check for see which are correct and which are
wrong for correct them, give reset for do it again.

6. Conclusions
There are a lot of different organisms some have more
cells than other, some have similar names and other do not.
There are also 6 kingdoms in which you can classify
any living things by their characteristics. Some kingdoms have similarities in
cells or other characteristics like between Plantae and fungi (they both have
cell Wall)
And the most important thing is that each kingdom has
characteristics that make it belong to that kingdom,
For example animals do not make their food, the can
move from one place to another, they eat food for energy; so this make them
different from the rest of the kingdoms.
The Miami, the ivy and the clover are all from kingdom
Plantae, they have cell-wall and many cells and all with nuclei, they don’t
have locomotion and their nutrition is based on photosynthesis.
The Woodswallows have locomotion, they fly, they eat
seeds, bugs, and worms, they have cells with nuclei and cell membrane, and they
belong to kingdom Animalia.
