Eukaryota
Protista
Protozoans- Single celled organisms, They are found in a variety of moist settings, including fresh water, marine environments, and the soil, and appear in a variety of forms and sizes.
Cilia
Requires host
Flagellum
Pseudopodia
Algae- Single-celled organisms that feed themselves by photosynthesis and provide the foundation of most marine food chains, therefore sustaining the ecosystem.
Spirogyra
Slime Molds- Multicellular single-celled organism that often contains numerous nuclei.
Plasmodiophorina
Fungi
Fungi Imperfecti- Reproduces asexually, produces penicillin, used in medical field, and foods.
Hyphomycetes
Chytrids- Mostly unicellular, aquatic, spores have flagella, reproduce sexually & asexually, and can be parasitic or live on decaying organisms.
Allomyces
Parasitic Chytrid
Zygospore Fungi- Multicellular, mostly terrestrial, reproduces asexually.
Phycomyces
Subtopic
Sac Fungi- Largest group of fungi, sexual reproduction, and single-celled yeasts reproduce asexually by budding.
Pezizales
Pezizomycotina
Club Fungi- Multi-cellular, Fruiting bodies release basiospores from the basidium, hyphae spread underground forming the mycelium, and can damage crops.
Agaricomycetes
Agaricomycotina
Plantae
Vascular- Found on land that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the body of the plant
spore-producing- Many larger algae reproduce by spores, although they can also reproduce sexually. A parent plant releases microscopic spores with unique sets of chromosomes.
ferns
Microsorum pteropus
Seed Producing- The seed plants dominate almost all the environments on land.
Gymnosperms
Cycas revoluta
Angiosperms
Orchids
Non-vascular- Because they lack specialized vascular tissues, they are mainly found in damp and moist locations. Tracheophytes are vascular plants that are also known as tracheophytes.
Bryophytes (Mosses)
Sphagnales

Archaea
Methanogens- In dry environments, microorganisms that create methane as a metabolic byproduct.
Methanosarcina barkeri
Methanobrevibacter smithii
Methanocaldococcus jannaschii
Halophiles- Creatures that require salt for growth and live in humid habitats where salt often exceeds that of the sea, up to saturation.
Halobacterium salinarum
Haloferax volcanii
Dunaliella salina
Acidophiles- Organism that can or must survive in an acidic environment and thrive in one that is extremely acidic
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
Acetobacter aceti
Pediococcus acidilactici
Thermophiles- Bacteria isolated from a variety of marine and terrestrial geysers heated habitats, including shallow terrestrial hot springs and volcanic islands, with optimal growth temperatures.
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris
Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius
