am only made of one cell. My'cell does
not have an organized nucleus. I only
have one parent.
Sometimes I make my own food, but
other times, I eat food.- I like to live in
volcano vents, salt water of deep
oceans, or the freezing cold Arctic.

Domains
The ~b:roadest category of classification is the Domain. There are three Domains in which all
organisms are classified.
The neX~ two Domains classifiy ail organisms that are prokaryotes(no organized nucleus).
Archaea is the Domain that all ~Archaebacteria are classified under. Approximately 4% of all
organisms are Archaea. It is believed that there are about 600,000 Archaea species. These
include bacteria that live in extreme environments such as arctic temperatures, hot springs,
and volcanic vents. The environment where these organisms live is a major characteristic that
separates these bacteria from all other bacteria. This domain only includes one Kingdom:
Archaebacteria.
Bacteria is.the.Domain that all other bacteria are classified under. Approximately 7% of all
organisms are bacteria. There are estimated to be about 1 million types of bacteria of
which only 4,000 have been identified. These include
nonharmful bacteria that help our bodies, as well as disease causing bacteria. This Domain only
includes one Kingdom: cteria.
No
bacteria or Archaea have an organized nucleus, so all are prokaryotes.
Eukarva is the Domain that all eukaryotes (organisms with an organized nucleus) are
classified under, Approximately.89% of all organisms are eukaryotes. In the Eukaryota
Domain, there are about 12.4 million species. This Domain includes four Kingdoms: Animals,
Plants, Fungi, and Protista.
aCingdorns
The second broadest category of classification is the Kingdom. There are six Kingdoms in
.-which all org~n~~.s._are .classified.
Archaebacteria are unicellular prokaryotes that live in extreme environments such as
volcanic vents, arcfiic temperatures, and hot springs. Some examples are halophiles and
thermophiles. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. They reproduce asexually.
yogurt or
Eub~cteria are unicellular prokaryotes that can be helpful or harmful. Bacteria in
E. coli or
your digestive system can be helpful, while bacteria that cause diseases such as
an important
Salmonella can be harmful. Some of these bacteria are decomposers which play
heterotrophs_ They
and helpful role in our ecosystem. Some are autotrophs while others are
reproduce asexually. They live in moderate environments,
Protista are eukaryotes.
s~ are unicellular, and some are multicellular. Many.of these
organisms are microscopic such as Amoeba, Paramecium, and
Euglena. Some are
a utotrophs and others are heterotrophs. They can reproduce
sexually or asexually.
F'ungi.include organisms such as mushrooms, molds, and
yeast. They are eukaryotes. Many
are multicellular, but ~or,~e are unicellular. All are heterotrophs.
Most feed on dead or
decaying organismsb`Theyarefound almost everywhere on
land, but some live in water. They
can reproduce sexually or asexually.
Plants are multicellular, eukaryotes. All are autotrophs (producers)
!.
Some plants produce flowers, while others do not. Examples of plants are
asexually.
grass, firees, vegetable plants, and weeds. They can reproduce sexually or
Animals Dogs, cats, fleas, and sea coral are examples of animals. They are multicellular
eukaryotes .that are heterotrophs (consumers). Most, but not all, animals can move from one
place to another. Most reproduce sexually, but some may be asexual (sea anemones).

1. Write the names of the three Domains in the appropriate box above.
2. Sort the cards into the three Domains based upon their characteristics.
3. Write the names of the six Kingdoms in the appropriate boxes above.
4. Further sort the cards into the six Kingdoms, based upon their characteristics.
5. Write the name of each example in the proper box above.
6. What characteristics allow you to properly classify organisms?
The presence/absence of a nucleus
The number of cells
How an organism obtains energy
The mode of reproduction is also used to classify organisms.
7. How can you differentiate between a member of the Plantae Kingdom and a member of the Eubacteria Kingdom?
A plant is amulti-celled eukaryote. Plants are also autotrophic. The Eubacteria are unicellular prokaryotes
.
Some bacteria are autotrophs, but most are heterotrophs. R~\ C-.a.:~c~~~2.r`4~~~-o~C2 ~S~~~~--\\~.
