1. Classification of Living Things Part 2: The Kingdoms

2. More Specific Classification
Kingdoms are the second largest group of living things after Domains
Translation: Domains are BIGGER and BROADER than Kingdoms
There are 6 Kingdoms
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia

3. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Are in the Domain Archaea
Unicellular
Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
Reproduce Asexually
Are not mobile (cannot move)
Live in extreme places (extremophiles)

4. Streptococci- bacteria that gives you strep throat
Kingdom Eubacteria
Are in the Domain Bacteria
Unicellular
Can be Autotrophs or Heterotrophs
Reproduce Asexually
They live everywhere except extreme places
The population of Eubacteria on Earth is more than the population of any other kingdom.
Most Eubacteria are helpful but some cause infection
Streptococci- bacteria that gives you strep throat

5. Kingdom Fungi All are in the Domain Eukaryotes
Slime Mold
All are in the Domain Eukaryotes
Most fungi are multicellular, but some (like yeast) are unicellular
Include yeasts, mushrooms and molds
Found mostly on land
Fungi are decomposers
One of two kingdoms that is entirely Heterotrophic
This means fungi cannot make their own food
Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually
Mushrooms
Lichens

6. Kingdom Plant All are in the Domain Eukaryotes Multi-cellular
Sea Kelp
All are in the Domain Eukaryotes
Multi-cellular
ALL plants are autotrophic. Even Venus Fly Traps use photosynthesis to supplement their diet of bugs.
Most plants reproduce sexually
Raspberry Vines
Grasses
Trees
Venus Fly Trap (Carnivorous Plant)

7. Kingdom Animal All are in the Domain Eukaryotes Multi-cellular
Heterotrophic
Reproduce Sexually
Includes
Insects
Fish
Birds
Reptiles
Amphibians
Mammals (humans are mammals)

8. Kingdom Protists All are in the Domain Eukaryotes
Algae
All are in the Domain Eukaryotes
They are called the “Leftovers” because they are all very different from each other
They can be animal like, plant like, or fungi like
Can be unicellular and multi-cellular
Can be autotrophic and heterotrophic
Can reproduce sexually or asexually
Diatoms
Protozoa
