Kingdoms

Domains Plants Animals Fungi Protists Archeabacteria Eubacteria

Domains The three domains are named Archea, Eubacteria, and Eukaryota (sometimes called Eukarya.) Domains are bigger than kingdoms. Each domain includes 1 or more kingdoms.

Archea Eubacteria Eukaryota Archeabacteria Animals Plants Protists Fungi

Plants Are multicellular (more than one cell) and are eukaryotic (have separate organelles in a cell) Use photosynthesis to make their own food (autotrophs) Have rigid cell walls and chloroplasts Reproduce by seeds (sexually) or spores (asexually)

Animals Members of the animal kingdom are multicellular and eukaryotic. They get energy by eating other organisms. They are heterotrophs. Animals are divided into two large groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. Animal cells have a cell membrane, but not a cell wall. Animals reproduce sexually.

Animals can be: Drawing of an animal cell herbivores (eat plants) carnivores (eat meat) omnivores (eat both plants and meat)

Fungi Can be single celled or multicelled Fungi reproduce by spores through asexual reproduction. Get their energy by feeding on other organisms, alive or dead! They DON’T have chlorophyll, so they can’t make their own food. Many fungi are decomposers

Examples of Fungi mold yeast mushrooms

Protists Can be single celled or simple collections of single cells acting as a multi-celled organism (called a colony) Are eukaryotic (have a separate nucleus and organelles with membranes) Some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs Some reproduce sexually and some reproduce asexually

Examples of Protists euglena paramecium algae

Archeabacteria Are single celled (unicellular) Are prokaryotic They reproduce asexually They live in extreme environments, like hot springs, volcanic vents, very salty water, but can also be found in other places Some are autotrophs, some are heterotrophs

Eubacteria Unicellular and prokaryotic Most of the familiar bacteria (strep, staph, salmonella,… ) are eubacteria. Some need oxygen to live, others die from oxygen They reproduce asexually. Most feed off of other organisms (heterotrophs). Cyanobacteria use photosynthesis Live in soil, water and other living things

Examples of Eubacteria E. coli on lettuce (helps digest food, can cause food poisoning) Lactobacillus bulgarus (1 type of bacteria in yogurt) streptococcus (causes strep throat)
