SCC Science Presentation

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 wayExample: 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 metabolizeCompare bacteria and archaea

Fungi

• Describe and compare the 5 phyla of fungi (figure 26.15) – I recommend a slide for eachDescribe how fungi reproduceDescribe how fungi feed and metabolizeDescribe the types of environments in which fungi live

PlantaeCompare non-vascular plants with vascular plantsInclude information about reproduction, life cycle, and how they acquire nutrientsInclude examples of non-vascular plantsCompare seeded vs seedless plantsInclude information about reproduction, life cycle, and how they acquire nutrientsInclude examples of seedless plantsCompare gymnosperms and angiospermsInclude information about reproduction, life cycle, and how they acquire nutrientsInclude examples of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Animalia

• Create a slide for each of the 8 phyla in figure 27.5 in your textbookProvide examples of eachProvide 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)
