2.3 Use cellular evidence (e.g., cell structure, cell number, cell reproduction) and modes of nutrition to describe the six kingdoms (Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia).
Vocabulary
Tier 3
Domain - the largest category of life, depending on your cell type
Kingdom - the six different types of organisms on the planet
Autotroph - organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis
Examples: plants, some bacteria, some protists
Heterotrophs - organisms that must go out and find food
Examples: animals, most bacteria, fungi
Unicellular - organisms made of only one cell
Examples: bacteria, most protists, some fungi like mold
Multicellular - organisms made of many cells
Examples: animals, plants, most fungi
Prokaryotic - organisms made from the older, simpler cell type
Examples: bacteria, archaebacteria
Eukaryotic - organisms made from the newer, more complex cell type
Examples: animals, plants, fungi, protists

Essential Question
1. How are each of the kingdoms of life different from each other?
2. What are examples of organisms in each kingdom?
The Six Kingdoms
Prokaryotes: The Prokaryote Domain have very different cells. These are the old variety of cells that have been on the planet for billions of years
1. Bacteria or (Eubacteria)
* Majority of all life on earth is bacteria by far!!!
* Microscopic, Prokaryotic, Unicellular organisms
* Very helpful to the environment as Decomposers
2. Archaebacteria
* Only live in very weird environments like the bottom of the ocean, hot springs, and salty areas
* Not what we know as common bacteria
Eukaryotes: The Eukaryotic Domain consists of kingdoms that have the more modern types of cells.
3. Protists
* Mostly unicellular organisms living in oceans and fresh water
4. Fungus
* Uni or Multicellular organisms including Mushrooms and mold and mildew
5. Plants
* Multicellular, autotrophic (photosynthesis) organisms
6. Animals
* Multicellular, heterotrophic organisms
