|---|---|
| bacteria | in a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of prokaryotes that usually have acell wall and that reproduce by cell division; this domain aligns with the traditional kingdom eubacteria |
| archaea | prokaryotes, most of which are known to live in extreme environemnts; differentiated from other prokaryotes by genetic differences in the make up of their cell walls |
| eukarya | in amodern taxonomic system, a domain made up of all eukaryotes; aligns with the traditional kingdoms protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia |
| eubacteria | in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom that contains all prokaryotes except kingdom archaebacteria (domain archae); biologists more recently prefer to classify these organisms as domain bacteria |
| archaebacteria | in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of prokaryotes that can live in extreme environments; differentiated from other prokaryotes by various important chemical differences; classified as archaea |
| protista | in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of mostly one-celled eukaryotic organisms that are not readily classified as either plants, animals, or fungi |
| fungi | in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of nongreen, eukaryotic organisms that get food by breaking down organic matter and absorbing the nutrients, reproduce by spores, and have no means of movement |
| plantae | in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of eukaryotic, multicellular organisms that have cell walls (cellulose), have pigments that absorb light, and that supply energy and oxygen to themselves and to other life-forms through photosynthesis |
| animalia | in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of comples, multicellular organisms that lack cell walls, are usually able to move around, and possess specialized sense organs that help them quickly respond to their environment |
