Domain Archaea

If an organism is unicellular, a eukaryote, and autotrophic, into which domain would it be classified?

Domain Eukarya

What are domains in biology?

Highest ranking of organisms in taxonomy

What is a eukaryote

Organism that does have a nucleus

What is a prokaryote?

Organism that does not have a nucleus

You are a taxonomist who has just discovered a new organism and you have to place it in one of the kingdoms. The organism seems to make its own food by utilizing its chlorophyll. The organism is only one cell big and is capable of moving freely. In addition to chlorophyll, the organism has several other organelles, including a nucleus. Which kingdom does your organism belong to?

Protista
