Shade each domain a different color
The six kingdoms are grouped according to five major categories in addition to other major characteristics. The categories are:
I. CELL TYPE: (kind of cell) all cells are made of the same organic material)
A. PROKARYOTIC: no organized nucleus, no internal membranes, peptidoglycan cell wall, have ribosomes (small), bacteria and blue-green algae
B. EUKARYOTIC: organized nucleus, internal membranes, nonpeptidoglycan cell wall
II. CELLULAR ORGANIZATION:
A. NUMBER OF CELLS
1. UNICELLULAR: (single-celled) all life functions, solitary or colonial (chains or clumps)
2. MULTICELLULAR: (many-celled)
B. CELL WALL
1. PEPTIDOGLYCAN: contain peptidoglycan, a complex web-like molecule; found only in the Eubacteria
2. UNCOMMON LIPIDS: nonpeptidoglycan, contains uncommon lipids, found only in Archaebacteria
3. PECTIN: contain pectin a complex polysaccharide, found in most Protista
3. CELLULOSE: contain cellulose a complex polysaccharide; found in Plantae
3. CHITIN: contain chitin, a tough material like that making up crab shells; found only in the Fungi
C. CHLOROPLASTS-covert light energy to chemical energy (photosynthesis), use as food source
III. MODE OF NUTRITION (how obtain energy/gets food)
A. AUTOTROPHIC: make own food, contain chlorophyll (photosynthetic), (some without chlorophyll are chemotrophic)
B. HETEROTROPHIC: get food from other organism, no chlorophyll, ingestion or absorption (free living, parasitic, saprophytic)
