Kingdom Organization
3 Criteria
• 1. Cell Type (prokaryotic or eukaryotic)
• 2. Cell Number (unicellular or multicellular)
• 3. Feeding Type (autotroph or heterotroph)
6 Kingdoms
• Archaebacteria
• Eubacteria
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
There used to be only 5 kingdoms
1. Moneran

Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This kingdom has now been divided
into 2 – archaebacteria & eubacteria
Archaebacteria
Ancient bacteria-
•Live in very harsh
environments
•extremophiles
Eubacteria (True Bacteria)
•Live in more
neutral conditions.
Protists
• Wide range of microbes:
slime molds, protozoa and
primitive algae.
“Odds & Ends Kingdom”
Protista Kingdom
• There are animal-like, fungus-like, and plant-like
protists
• Some are beneficial
• Some protists can cause diseases in humans, such
as:

Fungi Kingdom
• Breaking down dead
organic material to
recycle nutrients
back into the
environment.
Plant Kingdom
• All plants are
multicellular, their cells
having a cell wall, and…
• they are autotrophs
Animalia Kingdom
All animals are:
-Multicellular: cells lacking
a cell wall -Heterotrophs
-Capable of movement at
some point in their lives.
