The Six Kingdoms
Domains


Broadest grouping of living things
Three domains:



Archae- no nucleus, cells wall without
peptidoglycan
Bacteria- no nucleus, cells wall with
peptidoglycan
Eukarya- have a nucleus

Who are we more closely related to in
terms of evolution (Archae or
Bacteria)?
Domain- Archae

Archaebacteria- “extreme bacteria”






Cell Type- Prokaryote (no nucleus)
Organization- Unicellular
Cell wall- lacks PEPTIDOGLYCAN
Nutrition- Heterotroph/ Autotroph (chemosynthetic)
Locomotion: Squirm, flagella, cilia
Diverse

Ex:
Live in thermal vents (Thermophiles)
Live in salt marshes (Halophiles)
live without O2 (Methanogens)
Domain- Bacteria

Eubacteria- “true bacteria”



Cell Type- Prokaryote (no nucleus)
Organization- Unicellular
Cell wall- has PEPTIDOGLYCAN
Nutrition- Heterotroph/ Autotroph (photosynthetic)
Locomotion: Squirm, flagella, cilia
Diverse


Ex: Yersinia pecsis
Lactobacillus bulgaricus
Cillia
Flagella
Domain- Bacteria
Yersinia pecsis- bubonic plague
Domain- Bacteria

Lactobacillus bulgaricus - yogurt bacteria


Cell Type- Eukaryote (has a nucleus)
Organization- Unicellular, Multicellular (colony)
Cell wall- some yes, some no
Nutrition: photosynthetic (autotrophic), or
heterotrophic (eats)
Locomotion: Yes (Cilia, Flagella, Ooze)
Examples: Amoeba, Algae
