7. KINGDOM EUBACTERIA -unicellular prokaryotes -true bacteria

8. KINGDOM ARCHEABACTERIA -unicellular prokaryotes -chemosynthetic - extremophiles

9. KINGDOM PROTISTA -heterotrophic/autotrophic eukaryotes -unicellular or multicellular (kelp)

10. KINGDOM FUNGI -Heterotrophic eukaryotes -Absorb nutrients from surroundings EX. Yeast, mold and mushrooms, athlete’s foot

11. KINGDOM PLANTAE - Multicellular eukaryotic plants - Mostly autotrophic and photosynthetic EX. Mosses, ferns, conifers, flowering plants

12. KINGDOM ANIMALIA -Eukaryotic -All multicellular -Heterotrophic

13. SYSTEMATICS Classify organisms based on natural traits Uses similarities in appearance, embryos, chromosomes, proteins, and molecular molecules (DNA & RNA)

14. PHYLOGENETICS Based on evolutionary history Common ancestors

15. Uses chromosomes and molecular molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins

16. CLADISTICS Uses shared or derived characteristics unique to a taxon/group (I.E. feathers unique to birds)
