CLASSIFYING LIVING BEINGS
Nowadays we can find more than 1,8million different species of living beings. To study
them we need to identify, give names and classify them. The first thing we can look to classify
an organism is to look at its type of cell (prokaryotic or eukaryotic), so that we have three
domains, Archea, Bacteria (both prokaryotic) and Eukarya (eukaryotic). Then, we divide these
domains into kingdoms, there is only one kingdom in Archea domain called Archea kingdom,
one in Bacteria domain, Monera kingdom, and four in Eukarya domain, Protoctist, Fungi,
Plantae and Animalia kingdoms.
