1. SUB-KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA ( “Ancient Bacteria”)
ARCHAEBACTERIAL FACTS:
Single celled (unicellular) Prokaryotic organisms
Domain: Archae Kingdom: Monera
Has a cell wall but it is NOT made of Peptidoglycan
Obtain nutrition through absorption and chemosynthesis
Live in an extreme environment without oxygen.
Navigate by the use of one or more flagella
Reproduce asexually through binary fission

2. SUB-KINGDOM EUBACTERIA (“Modern-Day True Bacteria”)
EUBACTERIAL FACTS:
Single celled (unicellular) Prokaryotic organisms
Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Monera
Has a cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Obtain nutrition through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis - some forms are heterotrophs
Live in common day to day environments such as land, water and air along with living in and on organisms.
Some navigate using flagella, some emit a slime to glide across their environmental surface
Reproduce asexually through binary fission
Reproduce asexually and some sexually.
There are 3 basic shapes of bacteria: Spiral shaped (Spirallis)
Rod shaped (Bacilli)
Spherical shaped (Cocci)
 Bacteria can group themselves in Chains ( Strepto), Clusters (Staphlo) and Pairs (Diplo)

3. KINGDOM PROTISTA (“Protists”)
PROTISTS FACTS:
Most are unicellular and some are multicellular
Domain: Eukarya
Made of Eukaryotic cells
Cell structure(s):
Some have a cell wall and some have a cell
membrane
Some obtain nutrition through photosynthesis and
some obtain nutrition as heterotrophs.
Reproduction asexually and sexually
Move with the help of cilia, flagella and pseudopods
Found mainly in freshwater environments (pond water)

4. KINGDOM FUNGI (“Fungus”)
FUNGUS FACTS:
They are multicellular Eukaryotic organisms
Domain: Eukarya
Cell wall made of Chitin (complex carbohydrate)
Fungi’s role in the environment is that they are decomposers in which they obtain their nutrition by breaking down dead organisms and absorbing nutrients.
Reproduction both asexually and sexually
Fungi are basically static. But can spread either by forming reproductive spores that are carried on wind and rain.

5. KINGDOM PLANTAE (“Plants”)
PLANT FACTS:
They are multicellular Eukaryotic organisms
Domain: Eukarya
Cell wall made of Cellulose (complex carbohydrate)
They obtain their nutrition by carrying out photosynthesis
They are sessile (means they don’t move)
Some reproduce sexually and some asexually

6. KINGDOM ANIMALIA (“Animals”)
ANIMAL FACTS:
They are multicellular Eukaryotic organisms
Domain: Eukarya
No cell wall only a cell membrane
They are heterotrophic – means they obtain nutrition from the things they eat.
They are mobile by different ways: wings, fins, limbs etc.
Reproduce sexually (egg and sperm)
Some roles they play in the environment:
* predator
* consumer
* reproducers
* pollinators
