The document describes the six kingdoms of life - Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. It provides key details about each kingdom, including whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, and how they obtain nutrients (autotrophic or heterotrophic). Examples are given for common organisms from each kingdom.

1. Six Kingdoms of Life

2. Kingdom Eubacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Cell Wall made of petidoglycan (sugar protein mixture) Cell membrane of fatty acids Unicellular Heterotrophic & autotrophic Clostridium tetani; tuberculosis

3. Kingdom Archaebacteria Prokaryotic Cell wall lacks peptidoglycan Cell membrane of unique hydrocarbons Unicellular Heterotrophic & Autotrophic (Chemosynthesis only) Live in extreme environments Methanogens; halophiles

4. Kingdom Protista Eukaryotic 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

5. 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

6. Kingdom Plantae Eukaryotic Cell wall of cellulose Multicellular Autotrophic by photosynthesis Examples: oak, lilly, moss, fern

7. Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic No cell wall Multicellular Heterotrophic by ingestion (phagocytosis) Examples: mammals, insects, jellyfish, humans
