The eukaryote domain has four kingdoms; Protista Kingdom, Fungi Kingdom, Plantae Kingdom, and Animalia Kingdom. For this project we will focus on the Animalia and Plantae Kingdom. 

 

Animalia Kingdom: Also known as Metazoa, all organims in this kingdom are multicelular eukaryotes (Kingdom Animalia). One of their major characteristics is being a heterotroph, meaning they depend on other organisms as a source of energy (Damon, McGonegal, Tosto, Ward). Other characteristics include, "Most animals are capable of complex and relatively rapid movement compared to plants and other organisms. Most reproduce sexually, by means of differentiated eggs and sperm. Most animals are diploid, meaning that the cells of adults contain two copies of the genetic material," (Animalia (animals)).

1. Phylum Porifera

2. Phylum Cnidaria

3. Phylum Platyhelminthes

4. Phylum Annelida

5. Phylum Mollusca

6. Phylum Arthropoda

7. Phylum Chordata

 

 

Plantae Kingdom: Alson known as Metaphyta, all organisms in this kingdom are multicelular eukaryotes capable of photosynthesis (Kingdom Plantae). One of their major charactheristics is being an autotroph, meaning they are able to produce energy with the help of solar energy, photosynthesis, (Definition of Autotroph). They have a green pigment called chlorophyl, their cell wall is made out of cellulose, and they are fixed in one place (Plant Kingdom). For more characteristics click here. The plantae kigdom contains four phylum;

1. Phyllum Bryophyta

2. Phyllum Pteridophytae

3. Phyllum Angiosperms

4. Phyllum Gymnosperms
