Diversity is greater if the extinct are included. Kingdoms: entities, species ranked along a continuum. (322-384 bc) = great chain of being , species are fixed. Kingdom protista, kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia: lastly, there were 6 kingdoms, kingdom fungi, kingdom plantae, kingdom. Animalia, kingdom protista, kingdom archaebacteria and kingdom eubacteria. Domains consist of kingdoms, there are 3 domains; bacteria (includes kingdom. Thermoacidophiles and includes kingdom archaebacteria) and eukarya (includes. Fundamental principles to classify organisms: (1) principle of taxonomy: science of naming and assigning organisms (2) principle of phylogeny: grouping organisms based on structural and into groups taxon molecular traits. Levels of classification: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. A polymer found in the cell walls of prokaryotes, consists of sugars and amino acids, forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall.
