Domains

    There are 3 Domains

    Bacteria- cells contain cell walls with
    Peptidoglycan (polymer that has 2 kings
    of sugar).

    Archaea- cells contain cell walls without
    Peptidoglycan.

    Eukarya- contains Eukaryotic cells.
    Contains the Kingdoms Protista, Fungi,
    Plantae and Animalia
Kingdom Bacteria
• Unicellular and prokaryotic
Kingdom Archaea

• Unicellular and
  Prokaryotic
• Live in some of the
  most extreme
  environments you
  can imagine
Kingdom Protista
Eukaryotic organisms that can be
unicellular or multicellular. Has no organs.
Ex: plant like protist = algae
Ex: animal like protist = protozoans
Ex: fungus like protist = molds & mildews
Kingdom Fungi
Unicellular or Multicellular Eukaryotes that
absorbs nutrients (heterotrophs).
Contains chitin
Ex: Mushrooms
Kingdom Plantae

Multicellular Eukaryotes that are autotrophs.
Contains cellulose
Kingdom Animalia
Multicellular Eukaryotes that are
heterotrophs. Has no cell wall.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Kingdoms and Domains In the 18 th Century, organisms were considered to belong to one of two kingdoms, Animalia or Plantae. As biologists gathered more information about the diverse forms of life on Earth, it became evident that the two-kingdom system did not accurately reflect relationships among different groups of organisms, and the number of kingdoms increased. In 1969, Robert Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom system consisting of monerans, protists, fungi, plants and animals. In the last few years, comparative studies of nucleotide sequences of genes coding for ribosomal RNA and other proteins have allowed biologists to recognize important distinctions between bacteria and archaebacteria. The graphic on this slide illustrates the phylogenetic relationships drawn from this information using a three-domain and a six-kingdom arrangement, compared to the traditional five kingdom system.
