Unit 1

There are 6 Kingdoms of Life:
Plantae: consists of plants, which produce their own food by photos­ynt­hesis.
Protists: are mostly unicel­lular eukaryotes that are found in a variety of aquatic or moist habitats. They may be autotr­ophic, hetero­tro­phic, or mixotr­ophic.
Animalia: charac­terized by hetero­trophic eukaryotic organisms that are multic­ellular and their cells lack cell walls. They directly or indirectly depend on plants for food.
Fungi: is a diverse group whose members mostly decompose the remains of dead organisms and organic wastes and absorb the nutrients into their cells
Eubact­eria: Classified under the bacteria domain, these organisms live in almost every type of enviro­nment and are often associated with disease. These are the main micros­copic organisms that compose the human microb­iota. They reproduce at an alarming rate, most reproduce asexually by binary fission.
Archae­bac­teria: Is one of two groups of prokar­yotic organisms with no nuclear membrane. They are believed to be the earliest form of life on Earth. They do not require oxygen or sunlight for photos­ynt­hesis.
