The Six Kingdoms

Eubacteria: These organisms are considered to be true bacteria and are classified under the Bacteria Domain. While most bacteria do not cause disease, others can cause serious illnesses. Bacteria reproduce at an alarming rate under the right conditions. Most reproduce by binary fission.

Streptococcus pneumoniae

Salmonella enterica

Archaebacteria: Single-celled prokaryotes were originally thought to be bacteria. They are in the Archaea Domain and have a unique ribosomal RNA type. The cell wall composition of these extreme organisms allows them to live in some very inhospitable places, such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents.

Methanobrevibacter smithii

Halobacterium salinarum

Protista: This Kingdom includes a very diverse group of organisms. Some have characteristics of animals (protozoa), while others resemble plants (algae) or fungi (slime molds). These eukaryotic organisms have a nucleus that is enclosed within a membrane.

Slime molds

Water molds

Fungi: Fungi include both unicellular (yeast and molds) and multicellular (mushrooms) organisms. Fungi are decomposers and acquire nutrients through absorption.

Mycorrhizae

Lichens

Plantae: Plants are extremely important to all life on earth as they provide oxygen, shelter, clothing, food, and medicine for other living organisms. This diverse group contains vascular and nonvascular plants, flowering and nonflowering plants, as well as seed bearing and non-seed bearing plants.

Vines

Mosses

Animalia: This Kingdom includes animal organisms. These multicellular eukaryotes depend on plants and other organisms for nutrition. Most animals live in aquatic enviornments and range in size from tiny tardigrades to the extremely large blue whale.

Opabinia

 

Cephalaspidida

Angle A= 40 degrees because all angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees if we add 90+50 which are the two numbers in the other 2 corners of the triangle we get 40, to find the difference we subtract 180-140 which equals 40.

Angle B= 110 degrees because angle B is a corresponding angle to 110 degrees which means they are equal to each other. You can recognize corresponding angles because they form an “F” in the line segments.

Angle C= 110 degrees because angle C is a supplementary angle. You can see a supplementary angle when 2 angles are on a flat line separated from a line in between. To find 110, you minus 180-70 which gives you 110.

Angle D= 35 degrees because Angle D is a complementary angle. You can find a complementary angle from when an angle being looked for is on a right angle. To find Angle D you have to minus 90 degrees, by the number it shows you on the other side of the right angle. In this case it would be 90-55 which gives you an answer of 35.
