Classification of Living Organisms
The classification of living organisms by three domains:
-
All Living Organisms
-
Prokaryotes: Prokaryotes are the simplest living organisms of living things without a proper membrane-bound nucleus.
- Domain Bacteria:
- Kingdom Eubacteria: True Bacteria

-
Eukaryotes: Eukaryotes are living organisms of
living things having cells with membrane-bound structures. i.e. a proper
membrane-bound nucleus.
- Domain Eukaryota or Eukarya: Eukaryotes are living organisms of living things having cells with membrane-bound structures. i.e. a proper membrane-bound nucleus.
