Classiffication: AUTOTROPHS AND hETEROTROPHS

Highest Rank in Biological Classification

There are 3 domains

Archaea

Bacteria 

Eukarya

Domains are broken down into Six Kingdoms Total

Archaea belong to the Archaea

Domain Bacteria belong to the bacteria

Domain Eukarya has 4 kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

Autotroph: Organisms that make their own food

Heterotrophs: Organisms that do not make their own food.

So small they can only be seen with microscopes

Simplest single celled organisms on Earth

Can make own food in many cases

Some are helpful and some are harmful

Single Celled Organisms Tiny, simple organisms

Can survive severe cold and high temperatures

Often found in oceans or other high acid/ high temp/ low temp conditions

All multi-celled organisms are Eukarya but protists are also eukarya

Have a diverse amount of species

Can be anything from fungus, to plants to humans

Domains are broken down into Six Kingdoms Archaea belong to the Archaea

Domain Bacteria belong to the bacteria

Domain Eukarya has 4 kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

Can make their own food

Are simple

Examples are algae, live slime, and mold

They do not make their own food

They feed on dead animals, feces, and dead plants

They act like decomposers

They are predominantly found on land

Multicellular

Diverse

Include vegetable plants, flowers, and trees

They make their own food

All Multicelled organisms

Plenty of Biodiversity

More complex than most other Kingdoms

Include: ladybugs, turtles, humans, and goats
