Domain Archae Kingdom Archaebacteria  Prokaryotic – does not have a nucleus  Unicellular – single cell organism  Some autotrophic, some heterotrophic  Reproduce asexually (binary fission)

Domain Archae Kingdom Archaebacteria  Some live in extreme environments  High salinity  Low oxygen concentrations  High temperatures  High or low pH  Stomachs of grazing herbivores  Many live in oceans

Domain Bacteria Kingdom Eubacteria  Prokaryotic – lack a nucleus  Unicellular – single cell organism  Some autotrophic, some heterotrophic  Reproduce asexually (binary fission)

Domain Bacteria Kingdom 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 Eukarya Kingdom Protista  Eukaryotic - have a nucleus  Most unicellular, some multicellular  Some autotrophic, some heterotrophic  Reproduction can be asexual or sexual

Domain Eukarya Kingdom 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 Eukarya Kingdom Fungi  Eukaryotic - have a nucleus  Some unicellular, most multicellular  Heterotrophic  Reproduction can be sexual or asexual

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Fungi  Digest food outside their bodies and then absorb it  Many are decomposers  Includes mold, mushrooms, and yeast

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Plantae  Eukaryotic - have a nucleus  Multicellular  Almost all are autotrophic (some parasitic)  Reproduction can be asexual or sexual

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Plantae  Most need sunlight, water, minerals, and gas exchange to survive  Includes trees, grasses, mosses, ferns, cactus, corn, ivy, flowers, etc.

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Animalia  Eukaryotic - have a nucleus  Multicellular  Heterotrophic  Most reproduce sexually but some asexual

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Animalia  Animals include lizards, grasshoppers, spiders, sponge, dogs, humans, worms, clams, fish, etc.
