Kingdoms and Domains

Organization
Scientists need a way to organize
organisms
Organized by:
Cell type
Cell wall or absence of
Body type
Nutrition
Reproduction
Cell Type
Prokaryote-
No nucleus
Bacteria



Eukaryote
Has a nucleus
Cell Walls
Organisms in 5 kingdoms have cell wall
Plantae
Protista
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
Fungi
Organisms in Animalia do not have cell
wall

Body Type
Unicellular or
multicellular



Nutrition
Autotroph
Makes own food




Heterotroph
Must eat food


Reproduction
Sexual



Asexual
3 Domains
Bacteria
Include Eubacteria
Archaea
Include Archaebacteria
Eukarya
Include Animals, Fungi, Plants and Protists
Domain Characteristics
Bacteria
Have cell wall
Most abundant organisms on earth
Some autotrophic and some heterotrophic
Archaebacteria
Have cell wall
Extreme Bacteria
Methanogens, thermophiles, halophiles
Eukarya
Have nucleus
No Cell wall
Animalia
Some have cell walls
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Can be uni- or multicellular
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

Domain Archaea
