Living things are currently classified into six different kingdoms of nature:
- animalia (animals),
- plants (plants)
- fungi (mushrooms),
- protists (protozoarios),
- bacteria (bacteria) and
- archaea (archaea).
In the past, living organisms were classified into five kingdoms: animals, plants, fungi, protozoa, and bacteria. With the implementation of molecular techniques it was discovered that archaea (classified as bacteria) are actually more similar to eukaryotes despite being prokaryotes.

Kingdom Animalia (animals)
Dominio : Eukarya .
Cell type : eukaryotic animal cell, absence of chloroplasts and cell wall.

Kingdom Plantae (plants)
Dominio : Eukarya .
Cell type : eukaryotic plant cell; chloroplasts and cellulose cell wall present.
Cell organization : multicellular.
