Created by Carl Woose
Created 3 domains: Archaea, bacteria, Eukarya
Kingdoms
Bacteria: Eubacteria
Archea: Archea
Eukarya: protista, animaila, fungi, plantae
Differences of each domain
Eukyra: membrane-bound, can be multicelled, nucli, more DNA, varied cell wall, hetero/auto and mobile/sat
Atchea: single-celled bacteria (pro), like extreme climates, cell wall, mobile, hetero no peptidoglycan
Bacteria: single-celled (pro), cell wall, mobile and varied auto and hetero, has peptidoglycan
