This document outlines the six kingdoms of classification: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plant, and Animal. It provides details on the key characteristics of each kingdom, including whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, producers or consumers, and how they reproduce. Examples are given for each kingdom, such as archaebacteria living in extreme environments, eubacteria including decomposer bacteria, protista including algae and amoebas, fungi being decomposers like mushrooms and mold, plants being producers that undergo photosynthesis, and animals being able to move and being consumers.

3. Domains
1. The Archaea (archaebacteria)
- prokaryotic, very ancient life forms
1. The Bacteria (eubacteria)
- prokaryotic, more advanced
1. The Eukarya (eukaryotes)
-
All eukaryotic
Broken down into kingdoms
Protista kingdom, Fungus kingdom, Plant
kingdom, and Animal kingdom

7. 1st Kingdom
Archaebacteria – “ancient” bacteria
a.
b.
c.
d.
Prokaryotic – no nucleus
Single-celled (unicellular)
Some move by themselves
Producers – use chemicals (salt, sulfur,
methane)
e. Found in extreme environments
a. Asexual reproduction – binary fission

8. Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria
under a light
microscope
that came from
a hot spring!

9. 2nd Kingdom: Eubacteria – “modern” bacteria
a. Prokaryotic – no nucleus
b. single celled – but some live in colonies
with other cells
c. Some move
d. Some consumers – mostly
decomposers
e. Some producers – act like plants and
do photosynthesis
f. Asexual reproduction – binary fission

10. Eubacteria

11. 3. Protista – “odds and ends”
a. All eukaryotic - has a nucleus, some with
a cell wall
b. Single celled and Multi-cellular
c. Some move, some don’t
d. Producers or consumers
e. Reproduce – cell division, some have
sexual reproducion

12. Kingdom Protista
Examples:
Algae, sea weed,
amebas, protozoan

13. 4.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Fungi – the “decomposers”
All Eukaryotic, with a cell wall
Most multicellular, some unicellular
Do not move, live in moist areas
All consumers – decomposers
Reproduce sexually and asexually

14. FUNGI
Examples:
•
Bread mold,
mushrooms, yeast

15. 5. Plant Kingdom
a. All Eukaryotic with cell wall
b. All Muliticellular
c. Do not move, live almost everywhere
d. All producers – photosynthesis
e. Reproduce sexually and asexually

16. Kingdom Plants
Examples mosses, ferns,
flowering plants
(dandelions,
roses, etc.), trees,
etc

17. 6. Animal Kingdom
a. All Eukaryotic
b. All Multicellular
c. Can move around - Live almost
everywhere
d. All consumers
e. Reproduce sexually

18. Kingdom: Animals
d. Examples:
Jellyfish, worms,
fish,
amphibians,
reptiles, birds,
mammals

19. Questions
1. The classification system most commonly used today
separates organisms into six major groups called
__________________.
2. Because bacteria don’t have an organized nucleus or
organelles, they are called _____________.
