2. The 6 Kingdoms
 Domain Archea
 Kingdom Archea
 Domain Eubacteria
 Kingdom Eubacteria
 Domain Eukarya
 Kingdom Protista
 Kingdom Fungi
 Kingdom Plantae
 Kingdom Animalia

3. Kingdom Archaea
Cell Type: Archaea
are prokaryotes
without a nucleus
in the cell.
Body structure : Archaea are single-
celled organisms ,but they are
sometimes found in colonies.
Food: Archaea are
autotrophic(make
their own food).
They use chemical
synthesis to make
food.
Reproduction:
Archaea
reproduce
asexually, using
binary fission
Example Organisms: Some examples
are Acidianus hospitalis and
Methanococcus jannaschii.
Fun facts: Archaea have
been found in extreme
environments like
volcanic vents, geysers,
and deep in the ocean.

4. Kingdom Eubacteria
Cell Type: Eubacteria
are prokaryotic
cells(no nucleus).
Body Structure:
Eubacteria are single-
celled organisms.
Food: Eubacteria
are both auto- and
heterotrophic.
When they are
autotrophic, they
use both chemical
synthesis and
photosynthesis.
Reproduction:
Eubacteria use
asexual reproduction
by binary fission.
Fun facts:
Eubacteria can be
found in the
human body and
are especially
important for
digestion.
Example Organisms: Some
example bacteria are E.coli ,
H.pylori, and L.acidopilus.

5. Kingdom Protista
Cell Type: Protists are
eukaryotic cells (nucleus
and membrane bound
organs).
Body Structure: Protists are
single-celled, and simple
multi-celled.
Food: Protists
can be
autotrophic or
heterotrophs.
Reproduction
Asexual
•binary fission
•multiple fission
Sexual
Conjugation
Example Organisms:
Some examples of
protists are slime
molds, algae,
amoebas, protozoa,
and water molds.
Fun Facts:
Protists can
have traits
of plants,
animals,
and fungi.

6. Kingdom Fungi
Cell Type: Fungi have
eukaryotic cells (have a
nucleus).
Body Structure: Fungi
are complex
multicellular organisms.
Their cells have cell
walls.
Food: Fungi are
decomposers. They
break down other
organisms and
absorb the nutrients.
Examples: Some
examples of fungi
are Hygrocybe
calyptriformis
(pink waxcap
fungus) and
Gomphus clavatus
(Pig's Ear fungus).
Fun Facts:
Some
medicines,
such as
Penicillin, are
made from
fungi.
Reproduction
Asexual
•Fragmentation
•Spores spread
by the wind
Sexual
•Spores join
sexual cells in
the fungus.

7. Kingdom Plantae
Cell Type: Plants have
eukaryotic cells.
Body Structure:
Plants are complex
multicellular
organisms with cell
walls and chlorophyll.
Food: Plants are
autotrophic; they make
their food using
photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis uses the
sun as a food source.
Reproduction: Plants
usually reproduce
sexually through the
process of pollination.
A few, such as mosses
and ferns, reproduce
asexually using spores.
Example Organisms:
Some plants are trees,
grass, ferns, flowers,
and many others.
Fun Facts:
Some plants,
especially
trees, can live
for hundreds
or even
thousands of
years!

8. Kingdom Animalia
Cell Type:
Animals have
eukaryotic
cells.
Body Structure: Animals are
complex multicellular organisms.
Some are vertebrates (have
backbones) and some are
invertebrates (no backbone).
Food: All animals are
heterotrophic. Most are
consumers, but some are
decomposers.
Reproduction: Almost all
animals reproduce sexually.
Example Organisms: There
are many different species of
animals. Some are humans,
beetles, sea anemones,
monkeys, rabbits, and dogs.
Fun Facts:
Many animals
have specialized
sense organs.
