A kingdom is: | the largest division of living things |
5 kingdoms are: | Animals, plants, protists, bacteria, and fungus |
What is sometimes split in two? | Bacteria - Archaebacteria and Eubacteria |
Animal kingdom is divided into: | Vertebrates and invertebrates |
Vertebrates are: | Animals with a backbone |
Invertebrates are: | Animals without a backbone |
