3 Domains
6 Kingdoms
Foldables
Domain Bacteria
• Bacteria are prokaryotic (no nucleus),
single-celled organisms
• Bacteria are found everywhere
• Great deal of diversity
• Impossible to know how many exist
Domain Archae
•
•
•
•
(archaic, ancient)
Archaea are prokaryotic, singlecelled organisms
Differ from bacteria genetically and
biochemically
Thrive in extreme environments
Date back 3 billion years
Domain Eukarya
• Eukaryotic organisms (have a
nucleus)
• Grouped into 4 kingdoms:
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia
6 Kingdoms
Foldable
Kingdom Archae
• Archaea are prokaryotic, single-celled organisms
• Differ from bacteria genetically and
biochemically
• Thrive in extreme environments
• Date back 3 billion years
• Ex: The hot springs of Yellowstone National
Park, USA, were among the first places
Archaebacteria were discovered.
Kingdom Eubacteria
•
•
•
•
Part of Domain Bacteria.
Prokaryotic (lack a nucleus)
Common in everyday life
Known as “true bacteria)
Kingdom Plantae
• Plants are all multicellular and consist of
complex cells.
• In addition plants are autotrophs,
organisms that make their own food.
Without plants, life on Earth would not
exist! Plants feed almost all the
heterotrophs (organisms that eat other
organisms) on Earth
Kingdom Protista
• Protists include all microscopic
organisms that are not bacteria,
animals, plants or fungi.
• Most protists are unicellular but few
are multi-cellular.
• Eukaryotic (have a nucleus)
Kingdom Fungi
• Most fungi are multicellular and
consists of many complex cells.
• Unlike plants, fungi cannot make
their own food. Most obtain their
food from parts of plants that are
decaying in the soil.
Kingdom Animalia
• The animal kingdom is the largest
kingdom with over 1 million known
species.
• Contains complex, multi-cellular
organisms that don’t have a cell wall
• They are also heterotrophs (feeds
on other organisms).
