Kingdom Plantae
Domain: Eukarya
Type of cells: multicellular
Nucleus: Yes
Cell Wall: Yes, made of cellulose
Makes Its Own Food? Yes, by photosynthesis = Autotroph
Main Type of Reproduction: vegetative propagation,
sexual spores, pollination (Sexual and Asexual)
Examples: flowering plants, mosses, and ferns.
Fun fact: With over 250,000 species, the plant kingdom is
the second largest kingdom.
Kingdom Animalia
Domain: Eukarya
Type of cells: multicellular
Nucleus: yes
Cell Wall: no
Makes Its Own Food? No, heterotroph
Main Type of Reproduction: internal or external fertilization,
budding (Sexual or Asexual)
Examples: lions, tigers, bears, humans, slugs
Fun Fact: Animals can move during at least one stage of their
life cycle.
Fleas can jump up to 200 times their height. This is equivalent
to a man jumping the Empire State Building in New York.
Kingdom Archaea
Domain: Archaea
Type of cells: unicellular
Nucleus: no
Cell Wall: cell wall made of ether linkages
Makes Its Own Food? Some do, mostly by chemosynthesis
(Autotrophs or Heterotrophs)
Main Type of Reproduction: binary fission, conjugation
(asexual)
Examples: halophiles (grow in super salty environments)
Fun fact: Archaebacteria are extremophiles and live in the
CRAZIEST places! Like hot springs!
Kingdom Eubacteria
Domain Eubacteria
Type of cells: unicellular
Nucleus: no
Cell Wall: most do, usually made of peptidoglycan
Makes Its Own Food? Some do by photosynthesis =
Autotrophs others are Heterotrophs
Main Type of Reproduction: binary fission, conjugation
(asexual)
Examples: nitrogen-fixing bacteria, cyanobacteria, E. coli,
gonorrhea
Fun fact: Major decomposers in our ecosystems.
Most eubacteria are helpful. Some produce vitamins
and foods like yogurt. However, these eubacteria,
Streptococci pictured above, can give you strep throat!
Kingdom Fungi
Domain: Eukarya
Type of cells: some unicellular, MOST multicellular
Nucleus: yes
Cell Wall: yes, made of chitin
Makes Its Own Food? No, Heterotroph
Main Type of Reproduction: fission, fragmentation,
budding, spore (sexual and asexual)
Examples: yeast, mushrooms, mold
Fun Fact: Major decomposers in our ecosystems
Kingdom Protista
Domain: Eukarya
Type of cells: unicellular or multicellular
Nucleus: yes
Cell Wall: some do, mostly made of cellulose
Makes Its Own Food? Some do by photosynthesis,
autotrophs others are heterotrophs
Main Type of Reproduction: binary fission, conjugation,
mitosis, meiosis (Sexual and Asexual)
Examples: paramecium, amoeba, algae, malaria
Fun Fact: Sometimes referred to as the “junk” Kingdom,
because if it is not a fungi, animal or plant it gets placed
in this kingdom.
