There are 6 kingdoms of Life....

Sometimes these two kingdoms are grouped together and referred to as "Kingdom Monera"

Multicellular & Eukaryotic (have a nucleus and complex organelles.
Kingdom Animalia includes all organisms considered animals- including vertibrates and non-vertibrates (mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibeans).
Multicellular & Eukaryotic (have a nucleus and complex organelles).
Kingdom Fungi: includes organisms like mushrooms that reproduce by sporing and are responsible for decomposition
Multicellular & Eukaryotic (have a nucleus and complex organelles).
Kingdom Plantae: includes organisms like trees, flowers, shrubs, grass, succulents, etc.. that go through photosynthesis to produce their own food.
Kingdom Protista: includes organisms like amoebas and paramecium. They can be uni- or multicellular, typically microscopic, and are mobile. They reproduce asexually.
Eukaryotic (have a nucleus and complex organelles).
Archaebacteria: "ancient" bacteria, not like ones known to cause illness. Unicellular & prokaryotic -> they lack a nucleus, but contain DNA strands. Thrive in harsh conditions such as geysers, volcanos, or other areas of extreme temperature.

Kingdom Monera

Unicellular, prokaryotes. Bacteria can be "good" like gut bacteria, or bad; streptococcal or salmonella. They are found in virtually all places on earth
Eubacteria: "True" bacteria
