Kingdoms
 Highest category in the traditional
Linnaean system of classification.
 At this level, organisms are distinguished
on the basis of cellular organization and
methods of nutrition.
 Whether they are multiple or single
celled, whether they ingest, absorb, or
produce food are critical factors.
5 Types of Kingdoms:
 1. Monera
 2. Protista
 3. Fungi
 4. Plantae
 5. Animalia
Classifying Organisms,
some organisms are listed
below
 Monera: Bacteria, Blue-Green Algae (cyanobacteria),
and spirochetes.
 Protista: protozoans and algae of various types.
 Fungi: funguses, molds, mushrooms, yeast, mildews,
and smuts.
 Plantae: mosses, ferns, woody and non woody plants.
 Animalia: sponges, worms, insects, fish, amphibians,
reptiles, birds, and mammals

Domains.
 The highest taxonomic rank (higher than
kingdoms) of organisms in which there
are 3 groupings.
 Archaea
 Bacteria
 Eukarya
Classification of
Organisms
 Archaea: single-celled microorganisms. These
microbes have no cell nucleus or any other
membrane-bound organelles within their cell.
 Bacteria: contains most know pathogenic
prokaryotic organisms
 Eukarya: includes all of the organisms with
eukaryotic cells.
How are organisms
classified into kingdoms
and domains?
 Simply based on physical appearance
and the ability to reproduce with
members of the same "group"/species
How are organisms
classified based on
evolutionary relationships?
 The science of classifying organisms
based on their evolutionary relationships
is referred to as cladistics.
 Phylogeny is the branch of biology that
deals with phylogenesis. The proposed
relationships between different types of
organisms are displayed in diagrams
called phylogenetic trees.
