Biology: The Six Kingdoms of Life Review

All living organisms are categorized into six major groups, including plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaebacteria, and eubacteria.

The classification system consists of three major groups: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

Organisms that can move independently, like animals.

Organisms capable of producing their own energy, mainly through photosynthesis, like plants.

Reproduction involving a single parent cell, resulting in offspring identical to the parent.

Cells with membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus, found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

Cells lacking membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus, found in bacteria and archaebacteria.

Organisms composed of multiple cells, working together in a coordinated way.

Organisms consisting of only one cell, performing all life functions within a single unit.

Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms, including animals and fungi.

A hierarchical system organizing all living organisms, based on similarities and evolutionary history.

The process used by plants and some protists to convert sunlight into energy, producing glucose as a fuel source.

The primary energy molecule produced during photosynthesis, essential for all living organisms.

A gas absorbed by plants during photosynthesis, playing a vital role in carbon cycling.

Eukaryotic organisms with chitin in their cell walls, heterotrophic, and non-motile, often decomposers.

Prokaryotic organisms involved in various processes like yogurt and cheese production, and found in humans.

Multicellular, autotrophic eukaryotes containing chloroplasts, forming the base of most food webs.

Prokaryotes that inhabit extreme environments, such as hot springs or salty lakes.

Multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes that lack cell walls and chloroplasts, capable of movement.

A diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, including unicellular and multicellular forms, exhibiting a wide range of characteristics.

The order of the biological classification system, starting from the broadest category.

The broadest category in the classification hierarchy, encompassing all living organisms.

The second level in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with similar characteristics.

The third level in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with similar properties.

The fourth level in the classification hierarchy, further dividing organisms within a Phylum.

The fifth level in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with similar traits.

The sixth level in the classification hierarchy, grouping closely related organisms.

The seventh level in the classification hierarchy, grouping closely related organisms.

The most specific level in the classification hierarchy, representing a group of organisms capable of interbreeding.
