Domains and Kingdoms
Domain Eukarya
Seaweed, mushrooms, tomatoes, and dogs are all members of the domain Eukarya, which is in the domain of eukaryotes - organisms that contain nucleoli
"Scientists classify organisms in the domain Eukarya into one of four Kingdoms: protists, fungi, plants, and animals
Protists
"A protist is any eukarytic organism that cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus." This is because its members are so different from each other. The protist kingdom can also be called "odd and ends" kingdom.
Fungi
Fungi are mushrooms, molds, and mildew.
Multi-cellular eukaryotes are mostly fungi, such as yeast, used for baking.
Fungi are mostly everywhere on land, but only a small amount of fungi live in fresh water.
-
Plants
Dandelions, mosses and peas in a garden are members of the plant kingdom.
-
Plants are autotrophes which make their own food. Plants make food for most of the heterotrophes on land.
"The plant kingdom includes a great variety of organisms. Some plants produce flowers, while others do not. Some plants, such as giant redwood trees, can grow very tall. Some others, like mosses, never grow taller than a few centimeters."
Animals
-
All animals are heterotrophes, that have different adaptations that allow them to locate food, capture it, eat it, digest it.
The members of the animal kingdom live in different environments throughout the Earth, in the ocean depths, to the mountains tops, from hot deserts to cold, icy landscapes.
Domain Archaea
-
-
"Archaea are classifiedin their own domain, however, because their chemical makeup differs from that of bacteria
"Although bacteria and archaea are similar in some ways, there are important differences in the structure and chemicals makeup of their cells."
Intro
"Organisms are placed into domains and kingdoms based on their cell type, their ability to make food, and the number of cells in their bodies."
