The Six Kingdoms of

Life

EUBACTERIA• This is a kingdom of single-celled prokaryotes

that have been around in similar forms since the beginning of life.

EUBACTERIA• Prokaryote• No nucleus• Single-celled• No cell walls• Both autotrophs and heterotrophs• Sessile and motile• Asexual reproduction

Archaea• This is a kingdom of single-celled prokaryotes

that live in extreme environments.

Archaea• Prokaryote• No nucleus• Single-celled• No cell walls• Both autotrophs and heterotrophs• Sessile and motile• Asexual reproduction

Protista• This is a kingdom of mostly single-celled

eukaryotes.

Protista• Eukaryotes• Nuclei in cells• Mostly Single-celled• No cell walls• Both autotrophs and heterotrophs• Sessile and motile• Mostly Asexual reproduction

Fungi• This is a kingdom sessile

heterotrophs made up of many decomposers and parasites as well as other organisms.

Fungi• Eukaryotes• Nuclei in Cells• Mostly Multicellular• Cell Walls• Heterotrophs• Sessile• Sexual and Asexual

Reproduction

Plantae• Plants are all sessile,

multicellular, autotrophs.

Plantae• Eukaryotes• Nuclei in cells• Multicellular• Cell Wall• Autotrophs• Sessile• Mostly Sexual

Reproduction

Animalia• Animalia are a diverse group

of mostly motile heterotrophs.

• Many animals have cells that are specialized for a variety of functions like defense, reproduction, etc.

Animalia• Eukaryotes• Nuclei in cells• Multicellular• No Cell Wall• Heterotrophs• Mostly Motile• Mostly Sexual Reproduction
