Six Kingdoms
six kingdoms of organisms project. By: Eric Neumann
Archaebacteria
- Prokaryotic
- Unicellular
- Cell wall
- Both auto and heterotrophs
- Asexually reproduce
- Non mobile
- Live in oxygen free, harsh environments
An example of archaebacteria is Hyperthermus butylicus
Hyperthermus butylicus in the phylum Crenarchaeota, the class Thermoprotei, the order Desulfurococcales, and the family Pyrodictiaceae
Eubacteria
- Prokaryotic
- Unicellular
- Cell wall
- Auto or heterotrophs
- Asexually reproduce
- Some mobile, some not
- Live in neutral environments
An example or Eubacteria is E.coli (Escherichia coli)
E.coli is in the phylum Proteobacteria, the class Gamma Proteobacteria, the order Enterobacteriales, and the family Enterobacteriaceae
Protists
- Eukaryotic
- Some are multicellular, but most are unicellular
- Some have cell membranes, some have cell walls
- Auto or heterotrophic
- Some reproduce sexually, others reproduce asexually.
- Some are mobile, some aren't
- Live in water
An example of a protist is Amoeba proteus
Amoeba proteus is In the phylum plasmodroma, the class sarcodina, the order amoebida, and the family amoebidae.
Fungi
- Eukaryotic
- Multicellular
- Have cell walls
- Heterotrophic
- Can asexually or sexually reproduce, depends on the fungus
- Most are immobile
- Live on moist land
An example of fungi is Rigidoporus ulmarius
Rigidoporus ulmarius is in the phylum Basidiomycota, the class Basidiomycetes, the order Polyporales, and the family Meripilaceae.
Plantae
- Eukaryotic
- Multicellular
- Cell wall but some have membranes
- Autotrophic but there are exceptions
- Some sexually reproduce, other asexually
- Stationary
- Live anywhere suitable for growth
An example of plantae is Rosa acicularis
Rosa acicularis is in the phylum Angiosperms, the class Rosids, the order Rosales, and the family Rosaceae.
Animalia
- Eukaryotic
- Multicellular
- Cell membrane
- Heterotrophic
- Sexually reproduce, but there are exceptions
- Mobile
- Live Everywhere suitable for life
An example of animalia is Panthera tigris
Panthera tigris is in the phylum Chordata, the class Mammalia, the order Carnivora, and the family Felidae.
