1. The 6 Kingdoms Of
Living Things

2. Important Terms to Compare
Prokaryotic (no nucleus or membrane bound organelles) vs. Eukaryotic cell (nucleus and organelles)
Heterotrophic (gets food from other source vs. Autotrophic(makes own food )
Asexual (1 parent)vs. sexual (2 parent) reproduction

3. Domains

4. This phylogenetic tree, based on rRNA sequences, demonstrates the division of all living things into three broad domains.

5. The 6 Kingdoms
Of Life

6. Archaebacteria Life’s Extremists…
Cell Type: Prokaryotic
Cell Structure: Cell walls without peptidoglycan.
Body type: Unicellular
Nutrition: Usually autotrophic, but may be heterotrophic.
Other: Live in extreme environments: hot, salt, high acidity, very alkaline
Other: Reproduction by binary fission

7. Eubacteria Cell Type: Prokaryotic
Cell Structure: Cell wall with peptidoglycan
Body Type: Unicellular
Nutrition: Heterotrophic and Autotrophic
Other: Many are disease causing
Reproduce by binary fission
Decomposers

8. Protista Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Cell Structure: Some have cell walls and some do not
Body Type: Unicellular or colonial (multicellular)
Nutrition: Heterotrophic and autotrophic.
Other: Examples: Protozoa, Algae, Slime Mold, and Water Mold, Giant Kelp
Eukaryotes that do not fit anywhere else go here
Includes many types of plankton—zoo and phyto
Many have cilia or flagella (flagellum)

9. Fungi Cell type: Eukaryotic cells Cell Structure: Cell wall of chitin
Body type: Multi-cellular except for yeast
Nutrition: Heterotrophic by absorption
Other: Examples include mushrooms
Decomposers

10. Plantae Cell Type: Eukaryotic cells
Cell Structure: Cell walls of cellulose
Body Type: multicellular
Nutrition: Autotrophic by photosynthesis
Other: Chloroplasts in many cells

11. Animalia Cell Type: Eukaryotic Cells Cell Structure: No cell wall.
Body type: Multi-cellular
Nutrition: Heterotrophic by ingestion
Other: Invertebrate (no backbone) vs. vertebrate (backbone)
