Comparing and contrasting the 3 Domains and Six

Comparing and contrasting the 3 Domains and Six kingdoms By: Maynard Jackson Science Department

The 3 Domains Characteristics • Archaea – No nucleus, unicellular, and can live in extreme environments, autotroph and heterotroph, cell wall not made of peptidoglycan • Bacteria – No nucleus and cell wall made of peptidoglycan, autotroph and heterotroph, • Eukarya – All members have a nucleus and the ability to be more complex. ***Domains are the largest classification***

The Six Kingdoms - Archaeabacteria - Eubacteria - Protist - Fungi - Plantae - Animalia

Archaeabacteria Bacteria Eukarya Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

3 Domain and 6 Kingdom Chart

Archaebacteria • • • Cell type: Prokaryotic Number of cells: Unicellular (one cell) Cell wall? type: Yes, but it is not made from peptidoglycan Unique feature: Can live in the most extreme conditions (example: the Dead Sea, volcanoes, or hot sulfur springs) Called extremophiles Mode of nutrition: autotroph or heterotroph Reproduction: Asexual reproduction (binary fission or budding

Eubacteria • • • Cell type: Prokaryotic Number of cells: Unicellular (one cell) Cell Wall? Type? Yes, made from peptidoglycan Unique Feature: Lives in normal conditions (bathroom, kitchen, outside on a tree, stomach of an organism …. . ) Mode of nutrition: Can be either autotroph or heterotroph Reproduction: Asexual reproduction (binary fission or budding

Protista • Cell Type: Eukaryotic • Number of Cells: Unicellular (one cell), colonial or multicellular (many cells) • Cell wall? Type? Cell wall made from cellulose in some • Unique feature: Can be plant like, animal like, or fungi like. Some have chloroplast • Mode of nutrition: autotroph (algae) or heterotroph (amoebas ) • Reproduction: asexual reproduction

Fungi (Party at Night) - Cell type: Eukaryotic - Number of Cells: Unicellular (one cell) or multicellular (many cells) - Cell wall? Type? Cell wall made from chitin - Unique feature: Absorb nutrients instead of digesting them, many are decomposers, and all are not mobile (cannot move). More active at night than in the day. - Mode of nutrition: All are heterotrophic - Reproduction: asexually and sexually

Plantae - Cell type: Eukaryotic - Number of Cells: Multicellular (many cells) - Cell wall? Type? Cell wall made from cellulose - Unique feature: All contain the organelle chloroplast to make energy from sunlight - Mode of Nutrition: All are autotrophs - Reproduction: Mostly sexually, but some asexual

Animalia Cell type: Eukaryotic Number of Cells: Multicellular (many cells) Cell wall? Type? : No cell walls **** Unique feature: All contain tissues, which in turn leads to organs ( example: skin). Only Kingdom that does not have a cell wall. • Mode of nutrition: All are heterotrophs • Reproduction: Mostly sexual, some diploid/haploid, and some asexual • •

Milestone Questions • Which kingdom is prokaryotic and live in extreme environments? • Which kingdom is the only kingdom that cells lack a cell wall? • Which kingdom contains members that are all autotroph and are multicellular?
