Domains

Highest Rank in Biological Classification

There are 3 domains

Archaea

Bacteria 

Eukarya

Kingdoms

Domains are broken down into Six Kingdoms Total

Archaea belong to the Archaea

Domain Bacteria belong to the bacteria

Domain Eukarya has 4 kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

Autotroph: Organisms that make their own food

Heterotrophs: Organisms that do not make their own food.

Domain/ Kingdom : bacteria

So small they can only be seen with microscopes

Can survive severe cold and high temperatures

Often found in oceans or other high acid/ high temp/ low temp conditions

Domain Eukarya

All multi-celled organisms are Eukarya but protists are also eukarya

Have a diverse amount of species

Can be anything from fungus, to plants to humans

Kingdoms

Examples are algae, live slime, and mold

Kingdom Fungi

They act like decomposers
