The Tree of Life (5 KINGDOMS)



  • DOMAINS in the tree of life:
  • DOMAIN 1: Archaea — single-celled organisms with no nucleus
  • DOMAIN 2: Bacteria — single-celled organisms with no nucleus
  • DOMAIN 3: Eukarya — multicellular organisms with a nucleus (e.g. plants and animals

  • KINGDOMS:[1]
  • KINGDOM 1: Monera — for single-celled organisms with no nucleus (e.g. archaea (DOMAIN 1) and bacteria (DOMAIN 2))
  • KINGDOM 2: Fungi — for yeasts and mushrooms
  • KINGDOM 3: Protista — for any DOMAIN 3 organism that is NOT a fungus, plant, or animal (e.g. algae, moulds)
  • KINGDOM 4: Plantae — for plants
  • KINGDOM 5: Animalia — for animals

KINGDOM 4: Plantae

Plantae (14 DIVISIONS)

DIVISIONS:[2]
  • DIVISION 1: Anthocerotophyta (or Hornworts)
    For plants with NO vascular system
  • DIVISION 2: Bryophyta (or Mosses)
    For plants with NO vascular system
  • DIVISION 3: Charophyta

  • DIVISION 4: Chlorophyta

  • DIVISION 5: Cycadophyta (or Palm-like Plants)
    For palm-like plants with a crown of compound leaves
  • DIVISION 6: Ginkgophyta (or Ginkgo)
    For plants with seeds NOT protected by fruit
  • DIVISION 7: Glaucophyta

  • DIVISION 8: Gnetophyta

  • DIVISION 9: Lycopodiophyta (or Clubmosses)
  • DIVISION 10: Magnoliophyta (or Flowering Plants)

    For plants with flowers, fruit, and a vascular system — also known as angiosperms
  • DIVISION 11: Marchantiophyta (or Liverworts)
  • DIVISION 12: Coniferophyta (or Conifers)

    For plants with cones containing seeds
  • DIVISION 13: Polypodiophyta (or Ferns)
  • DIVISION 14: Rhodophyta (or Red Algae)

[1] Ruggiero et al (2015) have proposed 7 KINGDOMS instead of the traditional 5:
KINGDOM 1 (Monera) is split into bacteria and archaea
There is a new KINGDOM for protozoa (i.e. single-celled eukaryotes like parasites)



[2] 'Division' is a taxonomic rank in biological classification that is equivalent to phylum. The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature allows the use of either 'division' or 'phylum'.
