The 6 Kingdoms

Plantae (Plants)

The Plantae Kingdom are classified by whether they circulate fluids, how they produce, and their size vertically.

1. Hornworts

Hornworts are non-vascular cluster-like-plant, creating Anthocerotophyta. The name was based on its horn-like structure. Like moss, the Hornwort is flat.

 

2. Gingko

This species is only in the Ginkgophyta division, with others that have gone extent. The tree’s first appearance in China has been estimated to be 270 million years ago. Ginkgo is used for various foods and medicine.

 

Animals

The Animalia Kingdom is filled with over 9 million different species that are commonly multicellular and heterotrophs.

1. Anteater

The anteater is known to have a long tongue that ingests ants and termites. They tend to have long snouts, large curved claws, and dense fur that protects them from insects and various weathers.

2. Bat

Like birds, this species can fly. There are over 1,200 species of bats spread across the world. In general, bats have long snouts, large eyes, and small ears. Despite their appearance in movies, in real life they’re more dog-like; therefore, bats are nicknamed ‘flying foxes’.

Protists

Protists are a wide spread of the organism. Primarily, the organisms in this category are unicellular and microscopic.

1. Naegleria Fowleri

This ameba is found swimming in warm freshwater (lakes, rivers, and hot springs), and infects people. Naegleria enters the body through the nose, and goes to the brain, eating at the brain’s tissue.

2. Entamoeba Coli

This parasite is commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract. One can find this bacterium in fresh, unfixed, stool.

 

Fungi

Organisms in this category are multicellular eukaryotic and heterotrophs.

1. Zygomycota

Commonly found in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, these asexual reproductive structures are microscopic.

 

 

2. Sac fungi (Ascomycota)

Known for their sac-like structure, this fungus gains eight spores during its sexual stage.

Archaebacteria

These microbes are prokaryotes, which means they have no nucleus.

1. Thaumarchaeota

Thaumarchaeota are the dominant archaea in most soil systems. This species is also, likely, the main producers of the rare vitamin B12.

2. Euryarchaeota

This phylum produces methane and is found in intestines and halobacteria.

 

 

 

Eubacteria

Prokaryotic, meaning there is no definition to their cell and limited nuclei.

1. Spirochaetae

The bacteria are spiral-like and they wiggle and spin their bodies to move around. Syphilis is a known disease that contains spirochaetae.

2. Cyanobacteria

This bacteria gains energy by photosynthesis. ‘Cyanobacteria’ comes from the colour of the bacteria (‘blue’ in Greek’)
