Domains and
Kingdoms
Different Systems
• Taxonomy hasn’t always been
organized the way it is today.
• Linnaeus identified two Kingdoms:
Plants and Animals.
• More recently there were 5 kingdoms
• Newer work (including our book)
have 3 Domains with 6 Kingdoms
• What were the kingdoms you learned
in middle school?
Differences in the Domains
• Domain Bacteria contains the Eubacteria
Kingdom. They are all unicellular
prokaryotes.
• Domain Archaea contains the
Archaebacteria Kingdom. They are
similar to Bacteria, but have different cell
walls and are more related to complex
life.
• Domain Eukarya contains the other 4
kindgoms. It includes all eukaryotes.
• What are the three domains?
• What are the 6 kingdoms?
• What are the major characteristics
of each kingdom?
Domains
• Domains are the largest taxa, with
kingdoms inside of them.
• There are three domains, separated
based on cell types.
• The three domains are:
–Domain Bacteria
–Domain Archaea
–Domain Eukarya
What do you think the main difference is
between Eukarya and the other two?
Kingdom Eubacteria
• Bacteria
• Cell Type: Prokaryote
• Cell Structure: Cell wall with
peptidoglycan (no nucleus or
membrane bound organelles)
• Number of Cells: Unicellular
• Nutrition: Autotroph or Heterotroph
• Examples: E. coli, Streptococcus

Kingdom Archaebacteria
• Extreme Bacteria
• Cell Type: Prokaryote
• Cell Structure: Cell wall without
peptidoglycan (no nucleus or
membrane bound organelles)
• Number of Cells: Unicellular
• Nutrition: Autotroph or Heterotroph
• Examples: Deep sea bacteria, high
salt bacteria, “extreme bacteria”
Kingdom Protista
• Protists
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Cell Structure: Varies, all have nuclei
and organelles
• Number of Cells: Unicellular, a few
multicellular
• Nutrition: Autotroph or Heterotroph
• Examples: Ameba, paramecium,
euglena
Kingdom Fungi
• Fungus
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Cell Structure: Cell wall made of
chitin, no chloroplasts
• Number of Cells: Multicellular, some
unicellular
• Nutrition: Heterotroph
• Examples: Mushroom, mold, yeast

Kingdom Plantae
• Plants
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Cell Structure: Cell wall made of
cellulose, have chloroplasts
• Number of Cells: Multicellular
• Nutrition: Autotrophs
• Examples: Moss, grass, corn, trees
Kingdom Animalia
• Animals
• Cell Type: Eukaryotes
• Cell Structure: No cell walls or
chloroplasts
• Number of Cells: Multicellular
• Nutrition: Heterotrophs
• Examples: Sponges, worms, insects,
fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds,
mammals
