Kingdoms and Domains
Domain Bacteria
Kingdom Eubacteria
• Unicellular (made up of 1
cell)
• Prokaryotes (no nucleus)
• Rigid cell wall
containing peptidoglycan
• Free living &
parasites (need a host)
Examples: Streptococcus,
Eschericia coli
Domain Archaea
Kingdom Archaebacteria
• Unicellular
• Prokaryotes
• Rigid cell wall
WITHOUT
peptidoglycan
• Extreme bacteria! Live in
harsh conditions
Examples: Methanogens,
halophiles
Domain Eukarya
• Eukaryotes (cells have
nucleus)
• Contains the remaining 4

Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Kingdom Animalia
• Heterotrophs
• Multicellular
• No cell walls
• Motile
Examples
Fish, mammals, insects &
more!
Kingdom Plantae
• Autotrophs photosynthesize
• Multicellular
• Non-motile
• Cell walls contain cellulose
Examples
cone-bearing plants,
flowering plants, mosses,
ferns
Kingdom Fungi
• Heterotrophs
• Single celled & multicelled
• Cell walls of chitin
• Feed on dead or decaying
matter
Examples
Mushrooms, yeast
Kingdom Protista
• Organisms not classified as
plant, animal or fungi
• Most single-celled
• Cell walls in some
• Some photosynthetic (contain
chloroplasts)
• Heterotrophs & Autotrophsphs
Examples
Amoeba, Paramecium
giant kelp
•
