Overview of the
Six Kingdoms

Bundren, 2008 1

What is Cell Type?

• Prokaryotic – describes an organism with cells
that do NOT have a nucleus

• Eukaryotic – describes an organism with cells
that do have a nucleus

What is Cellular Organization?

• Multicellular – organisms are made up of more than
one cell

• Unicellular – organisms are made up of one cell

What is Mode of Nutrition?

• Autotrophic – makes its own food
• Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it

consumes

Kingdom Archaebacteria

“extreme bacteria”
• Cell Type – Unicellular
• Cellular Organization – Prokaryotic
• Mode of nutrition –Autotrophic or

Heterotrophic
• Cell Wall – cell walls without peptidoglycan
• Habitat – live in extreme habitats such as hot

springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine
pools, black smokers

Kingdom Archaebacteria

Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park – note the bright colors
from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water.
