    Domain

    A taxonomic category that encompasses all living organisms grouped based on shared characteristics.

    Taxonomy

    The study of classifying organisms

    Species

    A group of closely related organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

    Genus

    A classification level that groups together closely related species.

    Study Notes

    Kingdoms of Life

    • Six kingdoms of life include Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Animalia, Protista, Fungi, and Plantae.
    • Classification is hierarchical, with domain being the highest level containing all other classifications.

    Taxonomic Classification

    • Genus is the smallest taxonomic group that includes organisms of different species.
    • Domains of life categorized into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

    Characteristics of Organisms

    • Carrot plants are characterized as eukaryotic organisms.
    • Protista kingdom primarily comprises unicellular organisms but may include multicellular forms as well.

    Eubacteria Distinctions

    • Lactobacillus acidophilus exemplifies Eubacteria by possessing a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, critical for digestion and found in sources like yogurt.
    • Key distinguishing feature of Archaebacteria compared to Eubacteria is cell wall structure.

    Differentiating Characteristics

    • Classification among the six kingdoms relies on body type, cell type, cell structure, and nutrition.
    • Bacteria and Archaea domains consist of only one cell type, indicating simplicity in cellular structure.
