5 Kingdoms:

6 6 Kingdoms of Life Amimalia: Animals Plantea: Plants Fungi: Fungi include mushrooms, mold, and mildew Protista: Protists are microscopic organisms that have a nucleus. A nucleus acts as the control center of a cell. Eubacteria or Bacteria: Bacteria are unicellular and do not have a nucleus Archaebacteria: Archea are bacteria that can live in extreme environments.

7 Binomial Nomenclature The genus and the species name. Usually written in Latin or Greek. Rules for writing the Binomial nomenclature : The first letter in the genus is C apitialized. All of the species name is written in lower case letters. When typing the genus and species are in italics. When hand written the genus and the species is underline.
