Central Node: Organisms
Branch 1: Domain
* Bacteria:
* Prokaryotic
* Unicellular
* Diverse metabolic pathways
* Examples: E. coli, Cyanobacteria
* Archaea:
* Prokaryotic
* Unicellular
* Adapt to extreme environments
* Examples: Methanogens, Halophiles
* Eukarya:
* Eukaryotic
* Unicellular or multicellular
* Membrane-bound organelles
* Examples: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists
Branch 2: Kingdom (within Eukarya)
* Plantae:
* Multicellular
* Autotrophic (photosynthesis)
* Cell walls of cellulose
* Examples: Trees, Flowers, Mosses
* Animalia:
* Multicellular
* Heterotrophic (ingestion)
* Lack cell walls
* Examples: Mammals, Birds, Insects
* Fungi:
* Multicellular (except yeasts)
* Heterotrophic (absorption)
* Cell walls of chitin
* Examples: Mushrooms, Molds, Yeasts
* Protista:
* Unicellular or multicellular
* Diverse modes of nutrition
* Examples: Amoeba, Paramecium, Algae
Connections:
* Arrows connect Domain to Kingdom: "Belongs to"
* Arrows connect characteristics to Domain or Kingdom: "Possesses"
* Example organisms are listed under each category.
Note: This is a simplified concept map. Some organisms might have more complex classification within their respective kingdom. The concept map focuses on the major categories.
