Eukaryotes
Each lineage is called a domain which supersedes the kingdom as the broadest taxonomic grouping
Domain
Prokaryotic microbes that inhibit extreme environments such as alkaline and acid waters
Archaea
Contains true bacteria all of which are prokaryotic
Bacteria
Cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within the membranes
Eukarya
Eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, Autotrophic
Land Plants
Capable of feeding themselves
Autotrophic
Multicellular organisms, feed by ingesting other organisms, Heterotrophic
Animals
Ingest then digest, uses organic carbon for growth
Heterotrophic, ex. humans
Eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, heterotrophic but absorb organisms by secreting digestive enzymes outside of body. Digest-Ingest
Fungi
Study of physical features
Morophological
