3. Classification - 6 Kingdoms Archaeans Monerans Protists Fungi Plants Animals

4. Archaeans 1 cell No true nucleus Live in extreme environments High temperatures High salinity High methane concentrations

5. KINGDOM MONERA (monerans) *1 cell *no true nucleus - prokaryote – *examples - bacteria, blue-green bacteria (cyanobacteria)

6. KINGDOM PROTISTA (protists) *1 cell *have a true nucleus – eukaryote *examples - amoeba, diatom, euglena, paramecium, some algae (unicellular), etc

7. KINGDOM FUNGI *multicellular *have nuclei *mainly do not move from place to place *heterotrophic – must get food (food is digested outside of fungus) *examples - mushroom, mold, puffball, shelf/bracket fungus, yeast, etc

8. KINGDOM PLANTAE (plants) *multicellular *have nuclei *do not move *autotrophic – makes own food *examples - multicellular algae, mosses, ferns, flowering plants (dandelions, roses, etc.), trees, etc

9. KINGDOM ANIMALIA (animals) *multicellular *have nuclei *do move *heterotrophic – must get food *examples - sponge, jellyfish, insect, fish, frog, bird, lion, humans
