Five kingdoms
Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
Prokaryotic unicellular microorganisms that are commonly viewed as extremophiles
archaebacteria
Prokaryotic, unicellular microorganisms typically have rigid cell walls and flagella for movement
eubacteria
Eukaryotic, spore-forming organisms with absorptive nutrition (saprophytic) that produce sexually and asexually
fungi
Eukaryotic unicellular or unicellular-colonial organisms which form no tissues
protista
Eukaryotic, autotrophic, photosynthetic multicellular organisms
plantae
Eukaryotic, heterotrophic, multicellular organisms
animalia
