The 6 Kingdoms One way living things are classified
Archaebacteria • Ancient • Single celled • Autotrophic (make their own food) or heterotrophic (cannot make their own food) • Don’t have a nucleus • Live in extreme environments • Microscopic
Eubacteria • Unicellular • No nucleus • Autotrophic or heterotrophic • Do not live in extreme environments • Microscopic
Protists • Odds and ends kingdom • Autotrophs and heterotrophs • Some are unicellular others are multicellular (many cells) • Have a nucleus • Many are microscopic • Examples: amoeba, paramecium, some seaweeds
Fungi • Most are multicellular (except yeast) • Eukaryotes (nucleus) • Heterotrophs • Decomposers • Examples: mushrooms, mold, yeast
Plants • Multicellular • Eukaryotes • Autotrophs • Examples: trees, flowers, moss, etc.
Animals • Multicellular • Eukaryotes • Heterotrophs • Examples: people, cats, dogs, fleas, fish, birds, snakes, mosquitoes, etc.
