2. Comparing and contrasting the 3 Domains and Six kingdoms
By: Maynard Jackson Science Department

3. The 3 Domains Characteristics
Archaea
No nucleus, unicellular, and can live in extreme environments, autotroph and heterotroph, cell wall not made of peptidoglycan
Bacteria
No nucleus and cell wall made of peptidoglycan, autotroph and heterotroph,
Eukarya
All members have a nucleus and the ability to be more complex.
***Domains are the largest classification***

6. 3 Domain and 6 Kingdom Chart

7. Archaebacteria Cell type: Prokaryotic
Number of cells: Unicellular (one cell)
Cell wall? type: Yes, but it is not made from peptidoglycan
Unique feature: Can live in the most extreme conditions (example: the Dead Sea, volcanoes, or hot sulfur springs) Called extremophiles
Mode of nutrition: autotroph or heterotroph
Reproduction: Asexual reproduction (binary fission or budding

8. Eubacteria Cell type: Prokaryotic
Number of cells: Unicellular (one cell)
Cell Wall? Type? Yes, made from peptidoglycan
Unique Feature: Lives in normal conditions (bathroom, kitchen, outside on a tree, stomach of an organism …..)
Mode of nutrition: Can be either autotroph or heterotroph
Reproduction: Asexual reproduction (binary fission or budding

9. Protista Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Number of Cells: Unicellular (one cell),colonial or multicellular (many cells)
Cell wall? Type? Cell wall made from cellulose in some
Unique feature: Can be plant like, animal like, or fungi like. Some have chloroplast
Mode of nutrition: autotroph (algae) or heterotroph (amoebas )
Reproduction: asexual reproduction

10. Fungi (Party at Night) Cell type: Eukaryotic
Number of Cells: Unicellular (one cell) or multicellular (many cells)
Cell wall? Type? Cell wall made from chitin
Unique feature: Absorb nutrients instead of digesting them, many are decomposers, and all are not mobile (cannot move). More active at night than in the day.
Mode of nutrition: All are heterotrophic
Reproduction: asexually and sexually

11. Plantae Cell type: Eukaryotic
Number of Cells: Multicellular (many cells)
Cell wall? Type? Cell wall made from cellulose
Unique feature: All contain the organelle chloroplast to make energy from sunlight
Mode of Nutrition: All are autotrophs
Reproduction: Mostly sexually, but some asexual

12. Animalia Cell type: Eukaryotic
Number of Cells: Multicellular (many cells)
Cell wall? Type?: No cell walls ********
Unique feature: All contain tissues, which in turn leads to organs ( example: skin). Only Kingdom that does not have a cell wall.
Mode of nutrition: All are heterotrophs
Reproduction: Mostly sexual, some diploid/haploid, and some asexual

13. Milestone Questions
Which kingdom is prokaryotic and live in extreme environments?
Which kingdom is the only kingdom that cells lack a cell wall?
Which kingdom contains members that are all autotroph and are multicellular?
