KINGDOMS
KINGDOMS AND DOMAINS
•There are six Kingdoms
•Animal•Plant•Fungi•Protist•Archaebacteria•Eubacteria
EUBACTERIA• Prokaryotic • Have cell wall• No chloroplast or
mitochondria • Unicellular
microorganisms• Some autotrophic others
photosynthetic• Ex. Streptococcus, E. Coli
ARCHAEA
• Mostly found in very extreme environments• May have been the
first form of life on Earth
•Prokaryote•Cell wall•No organelles•Unicellular•Autotrophs-Chemosynthesis
•Live in hot springs and thermal vents
EUKARYA
• Protists• “catch-all” group• Can not be classified as
plant, animal or fungi• Mostly single celled
organisms• Some are heterotrophic,
others are autotrophic (photosynthetic)
•Eukaryotic•Some have cell wall•All have mitochondria – some chloroplast. •Most unicellular some multicellular•Autotroph or heterotroph•Ex. Euglena, ameba, paramecium
Fungi
• Eukaryotes•Cell wall made of chitin•Has mitochondria•Unicellular or Multicellular•Heterotrophic•Obtains nutrients from dead or decaying matter
• Examples: Yeast, molds, mushrooms
Plants•Eukaryotic•Cell wall- cellulose•Both chloroplast & mitochondria•Multicellular•Autotrophic (photosynthetic)• includes mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants
Animals• Eukaryotes•Do not have cell walls•mitochondria•Multicellular•Heterotrophic• Ex. Worms, insects, mammals
