KINGDOMS OF ORGANISMS
Introduction
Kingdoms
• All organisms can be divided
into kingdoms of organisms
• Organisms are placed into
kingdoms based on 3
characteristics:
• Type of cell
• Form of nutrition
• Number of cells
Type of Cell
• Prokaryotic—cells lack a
nucleus and organelles
• Eukaryotic—cells have a
nucleus and organelles
Form of Nutrition
• Autotrophic—these organisms
make their own food
• Heterotrophic—these organisms
can not make their own food
Number of Cells
• Unicellular—these organisms
have only one cell
• Multicellular—these organisms
have more than one cell

•
Prokaryotic cells
Most have cell walls, but some don’t
Unicellular
Some are autotrophic and some are
heterotrophic
• Contains the bacteria that live in
harsh environments like hot springs,
volcanic vents or highly salty water;
they live where no other organisms
can survive
Kingdom Eubacteria
• Contains all the other bacteria that
are not in the Kingdom
Archaebacteria
• Prokaryotic cells
• Most have cell walls, but some don’t
• Unicellular
• Some are autotrophic and some are
heterotrophic
• Some are considered “good” and
some are “bad”
Kingdom Protista
• Eukaryotic
• Some have cell walls, but some don’t
• Contain uni- and multicellular
organisms
• Some are autotrophic and some are
heterotrophic
• Only characteristic they have in
common is they are all eukaryotic
Kingdom Fungi
• Contains mushrooms, yeast,
mold and mildew
• Eukaryotic
• Have cell walls made of chitin
• Yeast are unicellular; all others
are multicellular
• Heterotrophic
• Cells walls have chitin
Kingdom Plantae
• Includes all the plants
• Eukaryotic
• Have cell walls made of
cellulose
• Multicellular
• Autotrophic
• Contain chloroplasts
Kingdom Animalia
•
•
•
•
•
Eukaryotic
No cell walls
Multicellular
Heterotrophic
Only Kingdom with NO cell
walls
