Domains All forms of life are classified into 3 Domains. This based on their characteristics. It’s the BROADEST level of organization. They are…. Bacteria, Archaea & Eukarya Bacteria Archaea Eukarya

Kingdom Biologist have organized all living things into 6 large groups called Kingdoms. They are classified based on their specific characteristics. 6 Kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, Plant, Animal Fungi, and Protista

Domain: Archaea Kingdom: Archaea Bacteria Domain Archaea only has ONE Kingdom…Archaea bacteria. They come

Domain: Archaea Kingdom: Archaea Bacteria Domain Archaea only has ONE Kingdom…Archaea bacteria. They come from EXTREME environments. Most die in the presence of oxygen. All organisms in the Archaea bacteria Kingdom must be: • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic and Heterotrophic • Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Eubacteria Domain Bacteria only has ONE Kingdom…Eubacteria. They live in many

Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Eubacteria Domain Bacteria only has ONE Kingdom…Eubacteria. They live in many different environments. Some need oxygen, but others die in the presence of oxygen. All organisms in the Eubacteria Kingdom must be: • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic and Heterotrophic • Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Domain: Eukarya Kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista This Domain contains the most Kingdoms… 4

Domain: Eukarya Kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista This Domain contains the most Kingdoms… 4 total. All of the Kingdoms contain organisms that are Eukaryotic. Hence the name Eukarya Domain. The 4 Kingdoms are: • • Plant Animal Fungi Protista

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Plant. AE All cells have Nucleus and a Cell Wall. Ex:

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Plant. AE All cells have Nucleus and a Cell Wall. Ex: mosses, ferns, flowering plants, trees, bushes They are: • Multicellular • Eukaryotic • Autotrophic • Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animal This kingdom is the one that you belong to. All

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animal This kingdom is the one that you belong to. All organisms in this kingdom can be divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. Ex: insects, fish, humans, worms, starfish, dogs, cats, pig, dolphin They are: • Multicellular • Eukaryotic • Heterotrophic • Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Fungi Some may confuse Fungi with Plants, but they are NOT

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Fungi Some may confuse Fungi with Plants, but they are NOT plants. Fungi are decomposers, but like plants they do have a cell wall. Ex: Yeast, mold, mushrooms They are: Unicellular and Multicellular Eukaryotic Heterotrophic Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Protista can be complicated. Some Protista in a dark environment are

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Protista can be complicated. Some Protista in a dark environment are heterotrophic, but in light they are autotrophic. Ex: Amoeba, Euglena, Algae, Diatom, and Paramecium They are: Unicellular and Multicellular Eukaryotic Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
