‘‘6 KINGDOMS’’

Kingdom Animalia-The major group of animals are classified under the Kingdom Animalia, also known as
Metazoa. This kingdom does not contain prokaryotes. All the members of this kingdom are multicellular, eukaryotes.
They are heterotrophs, they depend on other organisms directly or indirectly for food. Most of the animals ingest food and
digest in the internal cavity. Most of the organisms are motile which means they can move independently and
spontaneously.

Kingdom Plantae-There are different types of plant species, which are found on planet earth. They are sorted
and classified into a separate kingdom known as Kingdom plantae. This classification is based on their similarities and
differences. The Kingdom plantae is also called as kingdom Metaphyta. The Kingdom plantae includes all types of
eukaryotic, multicellular, photosynthetic plants found in this biosphere.
Archaebacteria Definition-Archaebacteria are a type of single-cell organism which are so
different from other modern life-forms that they have challenged the way scientists classify life.

Eubacteria Definition-Eubacteria, or “true” bacteria, are single-celled prokaryotic microorganisms

that have a range of characteristics and are found in various conditions throughout all parts of the world. All types
of bacteria fall under this title, except for archaebacteria. Since eubacteria is so common, it comprises one of the
three domains of life; the three domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
Definition of Fungi- The kingdom Fungi includes a tremendous variety of organisms that
are neither plant nor animal. These unique multicellular eukaryotes include edible examples like
mushrooms and organisms such as yeast, which makes our bread rise and ferments our beer and
wine. And their impact on our world as decomposers is absolutely crucial to every ecosystem. In
this lesson, you'll learn more about the members of the kingdom Fungi and gain a better
understanding of how fungi function in our world.

Protista Definition - consists of eukaryotic protists. Members of this very diverse kingdom
are typically unicelluar and less complex in structure than other eukaryotes. In a superficial sense,
these organisms are often described based on their similarities to the other groups of eukaryotes:
animals, plants, and fungi.
