Domain ArchaeKingdom Archaebacteria
Prokaryotic – does not have a nucleus Unicellular – single cell organism Some autotrophic, some heterotrophic Reproduce asexually (binary fission)
Domain ArchaeKingdom Archaebacteria
Some live in extreme environmentsHigh salinityLow oxygen concentrationsHigh temperaturesHigh or low pHStomachs of grazing herbivores
Many live in oceans
Domain BacteriaKingdom Eubacteria
Prokaryotic – lack a nucleus Unicellular – single cell organism Some autotrophic, some heterotrophic Reproduce asexually (binary fission)
Domain BacteriaKingdom Eubacteria
Used in the production of food, oil spill cleanup, and sewage treatment plants
Decomposers – break down dead organisms
Some cause disease – strep throat, food poisoning, etc.
Domain EukaryaKingdom Protista
Eukaryotic - have a nucleus Most unicellular, some multicellular Some autotrophic, some heterotrophic Reproduction can be asexual or sexual
Domain EukaryaKingdom Protista
Most diverse of the kingdoms Some people classify protists as any
eukaryote that is not a fungus, plant, or animal
Includes amoeba, paramecium, algae, diatoms, and many more
Domain EukaryaKingdom Fungi

Domain EukaryaKingdom Fungi
Digest food outside their bodies and then absorb it
Many are decomposers Includes mold, mushrooms, and yeast
Domain EukaryaKingdom Plantae
Eukaryotic - have a nucleus Multicellular Almost all are autotrophic (some parasitic) Reproduction can be asexual or sexual
Domain EukaryaKingdom Plantae
Most need sunlight, water, minerals, and gas exchange to survive
Includes trees, grasses, mosses, ferns, cactus, corn, ivy, flowers, etc.
