DOMAINS
Prokaryotic Kingdoms(Archaea and Eubacteria)
Kingdom Archaeabacteria
• “ancient bacteria”
-existed before dinosaurs
• Unicellular
• Cell wall made of protein
• Some autotrophs, some heterotrophs
• Motile or Non-motile
• Reproduce by binary fission (asexual)
Kingdom ArchaeabacteriaExamples: extremophiles
-hot springs (thermophiles)-salt water (halophiles)-acidic environment (acidophiles)-methane (methanogens)
Kingdom Eubacteria
• “True” Bacteria
• Common bacteria
• Unicellular
• Cell wall made of peptidoglycan
• Some autotrophs, some heterotrophs
• Motile or Non-motile
• Reproduce by binary fission (asexual)
Kingdom EubacteriaEx. E.coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae,
Salmonella enterica,
Eukaryotic Kingdoms(Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia)
Kingdom Protista
• Unicellular or Multicellular
• Mostly aquatic habitat
• Mostly asexual reproduction
• Heterotrophic or Autotrophic
• Motile or Non-motile
• Some have a cell wall, some don’t
Kingdom ProtistaEx: Euglena, Amoeba, Paramecium, Algae,
Slime Molds
Kingdom Fungi
• Heterotrophic
• Unicellular or Multicellular
• Cell wall made of chitin
• Mostly terrestrial habitat
• Asexual or sexual reproduction
• Non-motile
• Important decomposers in the environment
Kingdom Fungi Ex: Mushrooms, molds, yeasts
Kingdom Plantae
• Multicellular
• Cell wall made of cellulose
• Autotrophic
• Mostly terrestrial habitat
• Asexual or Sexual reproduction
• Non-motile
Kingdom Plantae Ex: Trees,
mosses, ferns, flowering plants
Kingdom Animalia
• Multicellular
• No cell wall
• Heterotrophic
• Terrestrial and Aquatic habitats
• Sexual (a few are asexual)
• Motile ( at some point in their life stages)
Kingdom AnimaliaEx. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds,
mammals
