Six Kingdoms Study Guide
Remember that the taxons get more specific with less organisms and types of organisms as we go
down the taxons: Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species

Scientific Names are binomial (2 part) combinations of Genus & Species:Felis domesticushousecat
Domain Archae, Kingdom Archaebacteria
First organisms- All single-celled, Don’t Move
Live in Hostile Areas Like Intestines, Ocean Bottom, Volcanoes, Salty Lakes and Flats
Anaerobic- Live without oxygen (Methanobacter sp.)
Incomplete Cell Wall (Mucous covering helps protect them)
Prokaryotes- No nucleus or organelles
Domain Bacteria, Kingdom Eubacteria
True “modern” bacteria- All single-celled, May Move
Cellulose Cell wall
Aerobic (O2 Breather) or anaerobic (Not O2 Breather)
Prokaryotes – no nucleus or organelles
Reproduce asexually by: Binary Fission- Splitting OR Conjugation- Swapping DNA
Shapes: Bacillus (Rod), Coccus (round), or Spiral
Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Protista
Single-celled or simple multi-celled, Eukaryotes (nucleus)
3 types- animal-like, plant-like, fungus- like
Animal like- consumers- MOVE- No Cell Wall- Amoeba sp., Paramecium sp.
Plant- Like- Producers – MAY MOVE- Cellulose Cell Wall- Euglena sp., algae
Fungus Like- Consumer/Decomposers – MAY MOVE- Chitin Cell Wall,
Examples- Water Mold (Ich), Slime Mold (Dog Vomit Mold)
Mostly Asexual reproduction, but some may conjugate (swap DNA)
Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Fungi
Consumer/ Decomposers- Eukaryotes- Have tissues and organs, BUT not organ systems
Chitin Cell Wall (Chitin is in crab shell)- So Don’t Move
Root-like hyphae suck up moisture and nutrients
Some help other plants grow better
Sexual reproduction through spores
3 Major Types- Club (mushrooms), Sac (Yeast), Thread (Mycorrhizae), Imperfect
Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Plantae
Producers- Make sugar and oxygen from CO2 and water by photosynthesis in chloroplasts
Cellulose cell wall- So Don’t Move (Carnivorous plants do instant growth, not movement)
Sexual reproduction through spores or seeds, but can also regenerate
Have tissues (Leaf epidermis), organs (leaf), and organ systems (vascular system)
Vascular System= Xylem carries water and nutrients from roots to leaves, Phloem carries
sugars and water back to roots
Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Animalia
Eukaryotic, Consumers, Move, No Cell Wall, Multicellular
Organized from Organs (Sponges) to Multiple Complex Organ Systems (Vertebrates)
All have nerve cells (Sponges) to Ganglia (Flatworms) to Complex Brain (Vertebrates)
All Reproduce sexually, though some can also asexually regenerate
May be asymmetrical (Sponges), Radial (Jellyfish, Sea urchins), or Bilateral (Flatworms, man)
Bilateral Symmetry is a more advanced characteristic in evolution.
