Archaebacteria Unicellular Organisms No Nucleus (prokaryotes) Can live in extreme conditions Cell structure different than Eubacteria Domain: Archaea
Eubacteria Unicellular Organisms No nucleus (prokaryotes) Live in normal environments Cell walls are different than those in Achaea Domain: Bacteria
Protista Most are single-celled Eukaryotic Cells have a nucleus All eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals, or fungi. Examples: Euglena, Paramecium, amoeba Domain: Eukarya
Fungi Multicellular (except yeast) Eukaryotes Domain: Eukarya Multicellular (except yeast) Eukaryotes Obtain energy by absorbing nutrients Have a cell wall, but no chloroplasts Examples: Mushrooms, molds, and yeasts
Plantae Multicellular, Eukaryotes Obtain food from sunlight Photosynthesis Make their own food: Autotrophs Cells have a nucleus, cell wall, and chloroplasts Examples: Trees, grass, moss, and flowers Domain: Eukarya
Animalia Multicellular, Eukaryotes Able to move Obtain energy by eating food: Heterotrophs Cells have a nucleus, but no cell wall and no chloroplasts Examples: Bears, humans, birds, fish, insects Domain: Eukarya
