Domains and Kingdoms 3 Domains Kingdoms Eubacteria Archaea Eukarya Eubacterai, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae & Animalia
Eubacteria Kingdom Prokaryote one-celled organisms Cell walls of peptidoglycan Autotroph or heterotroph Asexual reproduction Aerobic and anaerobic no organelles have cell membrane have DNA most common form of life on Earth incredible number of different kinds (streptococcus, E. coli)
Archaebacteria Kingdom Prokaryote Ancient bacteria live in extreme environments high heat (thermophiles) high salt (halophiles) the most ancient creatures living on Earth today Cell walls without peptidoglycan
That’s more of what they’re not & not what they are! Protista Kingdom Classification criteria eukaryotes not animal, plant or fungi That’s more of what they’re not & not what they are!
Protist Diversity A great variety in ways of life one-celled to many-celled autotrophs (photosynthesis) to heterotrophs (have to eat) asexual to sexual reproduction pathogens to beneficial sessile to mobile aerobic ex. Amoeba, euglena,
Fungi Kingdom Classification criteria eukaryotes Asexual or sexual Aerobic respiration heterotrophs must feed off of others mostly multicellular except one-celled yeasts cell wall Made of chitin Ex. Mushrooms, Yeast
Plant Kingdom General characteristics Eukaryotes, multicellular autotrophs, photosynthetic cell wall cellulose not mobile Sexual reproduction Aerobic respiration
Animal Kingdom Eukaryote Heterotrophs Multicellular No cell walls must ingest others for nutrients Multicellular complex bodies No cell walls allows active movement Sexual reproduction Aerobic Respiration
