Domains then Kingdoms

How many Kingdoms are there?

6

Archaea

A domain and a kingdom in which the organisms are ancient prokaryotic microbes and can live in harsh conditions, like geysers

Bacteria

A domain and a kingdom in which the organisms are more advanced prokaryotic microbes and can live in normal conditions.Reproduce asexually through fission

Eukarya

A domain in which all organisms are eukaryotic (contain a nucleus). Has 4 kingdoms, Protista(algae), Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

Plantae

A kingdom under Eukarya with cells that contain a nucleus, are autotrophic and reproduce from seeds.

Animalia

A kingdom under Eukarya with cells that contain a nucleus, are heterotrophic and reproduce with eggs that develop within or outside the mother's body

Fungi

A kingdom under Eukarya with cells that contain a nucleus, are heterotrophic, getting nutrients by absorption and most reproduce from spores

Protista

A kingdom under Eukarya with simple cells that contain a nucleus, usually found in water in algae or slime mold and can cause human diseases like Malaria.

What belongs at the top of the Classification Chart for all living things?

Domain

What are the three Domains?

Eukarya (has a nucleus), Archeaea (no nucleus), Bacteria (no nucleus)

Heterotroph

Gets nutrients by eating other organisms

Autotroph

Gets nutrients from surroundings and energy from the sun

Multicellular

Organism with many cells

Unicellular

Organism with one type of cell

What are the four Kingdoms found under the Eukarya Domain?

Plant, Animal, Protists, and Fungi

Domain

The broadest classification level at the top of the chart, there are 3

What are the four factors that are used to classify different organisms into Domains and Kingdoms?

whether the cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, the number of cells, how the organism obtains energy, and how they reproduce
