Notes-ClassificationLife is classified into 3 Domains:

Domain 1 is Archaea ---some live in extreme environments (Yellowstone)Domain 2 is Bacteria ---Some bacteria are helpful and some are harmful to humansDomain 1 & 2 are Prokaryotic cells---simple (no nucleus) some make their own food, some eat

Domain 1 & 2 are Prokaryotic cells---simple (no nucleus) some make their own food, some eat

Domain 3 is Eukarya---Eukaryotic cells are more complex (have nucleus)

I. Domain 3 is then classified into 4 Kingdoms (large groups)

1.) Kingdom of Animals-Eukaryotic, many celled, all do not make their own food they must eat2.) Kingdom of Plants -Eukaryotic, many celled, all do make their own food

3.) Kingdom of Fungi-Eukaryotic, some one cell and some many cells, all can not make their own food they must eat

4.) Kingdom of Protists-Eukaryotic, some one cell and some many cells, some make their own food, some eat
