What are the three domains?

• eukarya, archaea, and eubacteria

• plantae, archaea, and eubacteria

• animalia, eukarya, and archaea

• protista, eubacteria, and eukarya

This kingdom are multicellular that are heterotrophs (consumers). Most can move from one place to another. Most reproduce sexually, but some may be asexual.

• animal

• plant

• protista

• eubacteria

This kingdom are eukaryotes. Some are unicellular, and some are multicellular. Many of these organisms are microscopic. Some are autotrophs and others are heterotrophs. They can reproduce sexually or asexually.

• plant

• animal

• protista

• eubacteria

This kingdom are unicellular prokaryotes that live in extreme environments such as volcanic vents, arctic temperatures, and hot springs. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. They reproduce asexually.

• plants

• eubacteria

• archaea

• fungi

This kingdom are multicellular, eukaryotes. All are autotrophs (producers), but in a few rare cases, some are also heterotrophs . They can reproduce sexually or asexually.
