6 Kingdom System
A brief, but wonderful overview
The Six Kingdoms are…
Starting with the least complex to the more
complicated and fancy..
1 – Archaebacteria
2 – Eubacteria
3 – Protists
4 – Fungi
5 – Plants
6 - Animalia
Kingdom Archaebacteria
General Characteristics
1. Single-celled and Prokaryotic (cells have no nucleus)
2. Asexual reproduction
3. Come in 3 shapes
-cocci, rod, spiral
4. Live in extreme conditions – very salty, hot, acidic
Kingdom Eubacteria
1. Single-celled and eukaryotic (cells have a nucleus)
2. Asexual reproduction
3. Come in 3 shapes – cocci, rod, spiral
4. Found e Come in 3 shapes – cocci, rod, spiral verywhere –
even in your mouth 

Kingdom Protista
1. Eukaryotic Cells
2. Single or multi-cellular
3. Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
4. Can move with flagella, (whip-like tail),
cilia (hair like projections) or
pseudopods (false feet)

Protists in Action
Kingdom Fungi
f1.
Eukaryotic cells and Multi-cellular
2. Unable to move
3. Sexual and Asexual reproduction
4. Feed off dead organisms for nutrients (saprophytes)
Pictures of Fungi
Kingdom Plantae
1. Eukaryotic Cells with cell walls,
chloroplasts, chlorophyll
2. Multi-cellular
3. Sexual and asexual reproduction
4. Capable of photosynthesis – makes
its own food using sunlight
5. Immobile (no movement)
Pictures of Plants
Kingdom Animalia
**There are many types of animals, but these
are some of the things they all have in
common
1. Many-celled and eukaryotic
2. Heterotrophs – cannot make their own
food and must rely on other organisms for
nutrients
3. All are capable of sexual reproduction
4. Capable of movement in many forms
