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
