Domains Notes

There are three domains that classify living things: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Organisms are further classified into six kingdoms based on their characteristics, including whether their cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and their mode of reproduction. The six kingdoms are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

Classification & Taxonomy of Kingdoms
 Taxonomy is the science used to classify and name living things.
 Living things are categorized based on their characteristics.
 Organisms are classified into one of three domains:
o Archaea: means ancient; kingdom Archaeabacteria

o Bacteria: means true bacteria; kingdom Eubacteria

o Eukarya: means true nucleus; kingdoms Animalia, Plantae, Protista,


and Fungi.
 Basic characteristics are used to classify organisms into kingdoms.
Characteristics include:
o Prokaryotic (no nucleus) or eukaryotic (nucleus)
o Unicellular or multicellular
o Autotrophic or heterotrophic
 Autotrophic: organisms make their own food
 Heterotrophic: organisms must get their food from other
organisms
o Modes of reproduction
 Asexual reproduction requires one parent to produce an identical
offspring
 Sexual reproduction requires two parents to produce unique
offspring
