The Two Kingdoms of
Bacteria
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria



Archaebacteria have been on earth at least 3
billion years; unicelllular (one-celled)
The prefix archae comes from a Greek word
meaning “ancient”
You can find archaebacteria living in places
where most organisms could not survive
Example: Yellowstone National Park’s hot
springs
Eubacteria
Most other thousands of bacteria are
Eubacteria; unicellular (one celled)
 These organisms live in soil, water, and
even on and inside the human body
 Example: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is
present in intestines where it produces
vitamin K

Kingdom Protista




Protists are single-celled or
simple multicellular
organisms
Protists are eukaryotes (have
nucleus) that are not plants,
animals, or fungi
Protists include protozoa,
algae, and slime molds and
water molds
Example: Giant Kelp
Kingdom Plantae
Plants are complex multicellular organisms
that are usually green and use the sun’s
energy to make sugar by a process called
photosynthesis
 Examples: trees, flowers, bushes, etc.

Kingdom Fungi




Fungi are complex and
multicellular
Fungi were originally classified
as plants, but fungi do not
obtain nutrients using
photosynthesis
Fungi absorb nutrients from
their surroundings after
breaking them down with
digestive juices
Examples: Mushrooms and
Molds
Kingdom Animalia
Animals are complex multicellular
organisms
 Most animals can move from place to
place and have nervous systems that help
them sense and react to their
surroundings
 Animal cells differ from those of fungi,
plants, and most protists, and bacteria
because they lack cell walls

Name the six kingdoms.
Explain the different ways plants,
fungi, and animals obtain
nutrients.

belong? What characteristics
place humans in this kingdom?
