DOMAINS

Prokaryotic Kingdoms(Archaea and Eubacteria)

Kingdom Archaeabacteria

• “ancient bacteria”

-existed before dinosaurs

• Unicellular

• Cell wall made of protein

• Some autotrophs, some heterotrophs

• Motile or Non-motile

• Reproduce by binary fission (asexual)

Kingdom ArchaeabacteriaExamples: extremophiles

-hot springs (thermophiles)-salt water (halophiles)-acidic environment (acidophiles)-methane (methanogens)

Kingdom Eubacteria

• “True” Bacteria

• Common bacteria

• Unicellular

• Cell wall made of peptidoglycan

• Some autotrophs, some heterotrophs

• Motile or Non-motile

• Reproduce by binary fission (asexual)

Kingdom EubacteriaEx. E.coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae,

Salmonella enterica,

Eukaryotic Kingdoms(Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia)

Kingdom Protista

• Unicellular or Multicellular

• Mostly aquatic habitat

• Mostly asexual reproduction

• Heterotrophic or Autotrophic

• Motile or Non-motile

• Some have a cell wall, some don’t

Kingdom ProtistaEx: Euglena, Amoeba, Paramecium, Algae,

Slime Molds

Kingdom Fungi

• Heterotrophic

• Unicellular or Multicellular

• Cell wall made of chitin

• Mostly terrestrial habitat

• Asexual or sexual reproduction

• Non-motile

• Important decomposers in the environment

Kingdom Fungi Ex: Mushrooms, molds, yeasts

Kingdom Plantae

• Multicellular

• Cell wall made of cellulose

• Autotrophic

• Mostly terrestrial habitat

• Asexual or Sexual reproduction

• Non-motile

Kingdom Plantae Ex: Trees,

mosses, ferns, flowering plants

Kingdom Animalia

• Multicellular

• No cell wall

• Heterotrophic

• Terrestrial and Aquatic habitats

• Sexual (a few are asexual)

• Motile ( at some point in their life stages)

Kingdom AnimaliaEx. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds,

mammals
