Six Kingdoms of Life
Kingdom Eubacteria
Prokaryotic
Unicellular
Cell Wall made of petidoglycan (sugar protein mixture)
Cell membrane of fatty acids
Unicellular
Heterotrophic & autotrophic
Clostridium tetani; tuberculosis
Kingdom ArchaebacteriaProkaryotic
Cell wall lacks peptidoglycan
Cell membrane of unique hydrocarbons
Unicellular
Heterotrophic & Autotrophic (Chemosynthesis only)
Live in extreme environments
Methanogens; halophiles
Kingdom ProtistaEukaryotic
Mostly unicellular; some multicellular but lack tissue organization
Autotrophic; some heterotrophic
Garbage dump for organisms that cannot fit in other kingdoms
Examples: amoeba; paramecia; algae; seaweeds
Kingdom Fungi
Eukaryotic
Cell wall of chitin
Uni- and multi- cellular
Heterotrophic by secreting digestive enzyme outside of body and then absorbing nutrients
Includes molds, mildews, mushrooms
Kingdom Plantae
Eukaryotic
Cell wall of cellulose
Multicellular
Autotrophic by photosynthesis
Examples: oak, lilly, moss, fern
Kingdom Animalia
Eukaryotic
No cell wall
Multicellular
Heterotrophic by ingestion (phagocytosis)
Examples: mammals, insects, jellyfish, humans
