One way living things are classified

2. Archaebacteria Ancient Single celled
Autotrophic (make their own food) or heterotrophic (don’t make their own food)
Don’t have a nucleus
Live in extreme environments
Microscopic
Reproduction:
Asexual by splitting in 2
Sexual by conjugation

3. Eubacteria Unicellular No nucleus Autotrophic or heterotrophic
Do not live in extreme environments
Microscopic
Reproduction:
Asexual by splitting in 2
Sexual by sharing DNA

4. Protists Odds and ends kingdom Autotrophs and heterotrophs
Some are unicellular
Others are multicellular (many cells)
Cells are nearly the same
Have a nucleus
Many are microscopic
Examples: amoeba, paramecium, some seaweeds
Reproduce both sexually by sharing DNA and asexually (splitting in 2)

5. Fungi Most are multicellular (except yeast) Eukaryotes (nucleus)
Heterotrophs
Decomposers
Examples: mushrooms, mold, yeast
Reproduce asexually by producing spores (or budding) and sexually by sharing DNA and then producing spores

6. Plants Multicellular Eukaryotes Autotrophs
Examples: trees, flowers, moss, etc.
Sexual reproduction by producing sex cells
Asexual reproduction – new, identical plants form on parent plant

7. Animals Multicellular Eukaryotes Heterotrophs
Examples: people, cats, dogs, fleas, fish, birds, snakes, mosquitoes, etc.
Most reproduce sexually; some reproduce asexually by budding
