Flashcards for Kingdoms and Domains

DirectionsPrint these slides as “handouts” 6 per page.You can fold the power point slides in half

and cut them out to make flashcards.I hope this helps =)

KINGDOM: Archaebacteria“extremophiles”

Archaebacteria“extremophiles”

Kingdom made up of single celled bacteria that live in extreme environments (hot, salty, chemical-filled)

Can be heterotrophs or autotrophs

ex. Bacteria that live in hot springs

Lack most organelles but have ribosomes

Eubacteria

EubacteriaKingdom that contains all of

the single celled prokaryotes except the Archaebacteria; they live in water, soil and even the human body (cause diseases and found in food)!

Lack most organelles (have ribosomes)

Can be heterotrophic or autotrophic

Cell wall of peptidoglycanEx. Escherichia coli (E. coli

O157:H7)

Protista

ProtistaKingdom of mostly one-

celled eukaryotic organisms that are different from plants, animals, fungi and bacteria

Contain cilia, flagella, pseudopodia

Mostly single-celledCan be heterotrophic or

autotrophicCan be plant-like (algae,

euglena), animal-like (amoeba, paramecia) or fungi-like (mildew)

Fungi

Fungi•Kingdom of non-green heterotrophic, eukaryotic that are multicellular (except for yeast which is unicellular) •organisms do not move•Cell wall of chitin•Break down substances in their surroundings using enzymes and absorbing the nutrients•Ex. Morchella esculenta

Plantae

Plantae•Kingdom made up of complex, multicellular organisms that are naturally green (chloroplasts containing chlorophyll), have cell walls made of cellulose, cannot move, and use the sun’s energy to make sugar by means of photosynthesis•Ex. Fruits and vegetables

Animalia

AnimaliaKingdom made up of

complex multicellular organisms that lack cell walls, can usually move and quickly respond to their environment

Ex. Sponges, jellyfish, insects, worms, starfish, corals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, humans

Domain: Archea

Archaea—prokaryotes; includes kingdom Archaebacteria

Domain: Bacteria

Bacteria—prokaryotes; includes kingdom Eubacteria

Doamin: Eukarya

Eukarya—eukaryotes; includes kingdoms Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals
