Biologist are continually looking at the variety of life on Earth and trying to determine the best way to group it based on different characteristics. Recently, biologists have divided all life into three main groups, called domains. What are the three domains?

• plants, animals, bacteria

• prokaryotic, eukaryotic, viral

• Bacteria, Achaea, Eukarya

• biotic, abiotic, viral

Plant cells and animal cells have similar characteristics. What characteristic do they share that classifies them both into the Eukarya domain?

• They are both multicellular

• They both have a cell wall

• They both have a nucleus in the cells

• They both produce their own food
