Classification
Levels of taxonomy- The eight levels are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
Species- the ability of its members to reproduce together to form fertile offspring
Genus- class or group of individuals, or of species of individuals
Family- a group of genus'
Order- a group of families
Class- a group of orders
Phylum- a group of classes
Kingdom- a group of phylums
Domain- a group of kingdoms
The early classification system-according to Linneaus there was no domain taxon but did have the rest.
Aristotle's way of classification system used characteristics like physical appearance, how, or if, things moved (walk, swim, fly) and percieved mental capacity. This system didnt work because some organisms, like ducks, walk, swim and fly.

Six Kingdoms
(I couldnt add color or unbold text because the weeby was unrespondant when i tried, so instead i just put the kingdom name before a dash and italicized the important characteristics.
Kingdom Archaebacteria- members of the kingdom are unicellular prokaryotes that live in extreme environments like volcanic hot springs, brine pools, and black organic mud totally devoid of mud.
Kingdom Archaebacteria- members of the kingdom are unicellular prokaryotes that live in extreme environments like volcanic hot springs, brine pools, and black organic mud totally devoid of mud.
Kingdom eubacteria- members of this kingdom are unicellular prokaryotes that are ecologically diverse, ranging from free-living soil organisms to deadly parasites. Some photosynthesize, others do not.
Kingdom Fungi- members of this kingdom are heterotrophs. They feed on dead or decaying matter or secrete digestive enzymes into their food source. Some are unicellular while others are multicellular.
Kingdom Anamalia- members of this kingdom are multicellular heterotrophs. These organisms DO NOT have cell walls.
Kingdom Plantae- members of this kingdom are multicellular. They are photosynthetic autotrophs. These organisms have cell walls made of cellulose.
Kingdom Protista- this kingdom of organisms cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. They can be unicellular or ulticellular, photosynthetic or heterotrophic. Some of these organisms share characteristics with plants, other fungi, and others with animals.
