1. Currently, all living things are classified in 6 kingdoms.

The six kingdoms are:

a. Archaebacteria

b. Eubacteria

c. Protists

d. Fungi

e. Plants

f. Animals

2. The bacteria are divided into 2 kingdoms, the archaebacteria and the Eubacteria All bacteria are

single celled prokaryotes, which means they do not have a nucleus

3. Archaebacteria are the ancient bacteria that have been on earth for 3 billion years, and live in

places where most organisms could not survive

4. Eubacteria make up most of the other thousands of kinds of bacteria on earth. They live in soil,

in water and even on and inside of you!

5. Protists are single celled or very simple multicellular organisms. They are eukaryotes,

organisms with a nucleus.

6. The plant kingdom contains complex multicellular organisms that are usually green and use

sunlight to photosynthesize.

7. Fungi are complex multicellular organisms. They are different from plants because they do not

obtain nutrients through the process of photosynthesis Fungi get their nutrients by absorbing

them from their surroundings after they break them down with digestive juices. We refer to them

as decomposers.

8. The animal kingdom contains complex multicellular organisms that can move and have nervous

systems. Their cells lack cell walls.

How do they obtain

food?

Examples

Eubacteria P U (Composers or Decomposers)Autotrophs and heterotrophs

E. coli cyanobacteria

Archaebacteria P U Chemisynthesis Hot springs bacteria(Not all have cell walls!)3 types:-Methane makers (swamps)-Heat lovers (Oceanic)-Salt lovers (Dead Sea)

Protist E B Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

Protozoa/ Euglena, parameciaAlgae (some multicellular – seaweed and kelp) or PhotosynthesisSlime & water moldsGiant Kelp
