Archaebacteria Unicellular prokaryotes. Do not have a nucleus Live in Harsh environments. Reproduce Binary Fission

Eubacteria Unicellular Prokaryotes Do not have a nucleus The bacteria around us Can be good and bad…how??? Reproduce Binary Fission

Protista Most are unicellular eukaryotic Can be heterotrophic or autotrophic This is the place to put all Eukaryotes

that are not plants, animals, or fungi. Not necessarily related, but unsure

where to place them

Fungi Multicellular Eukaryotic Heterotrophic…decomposers Over 100,000 species of fungi

including fungi, mushrooms, mildews, molds.

Plantae Multicellular eukaryotic Autotrophic (can make their

own food…Photosythesis) Examples include mosses,

ferns, conifers, and flowering plants.
