<strong>The</strong> <strong>Six</strong> <strong>Kingdom</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
Name: _____________________________________________________<br />
Biologists have accumulated a vast amount of information on Earth’s estimated 1.5 million species of organisms. Based on this<br />
information, taxonomists have developed various classification systems that group organisms according to their similarities. Many<br />
textbooks use the five kingdom system. <strong>The</strong> six kingdom system of classification is used in our textbook. Our text, along with many<br />
other sources, divides the <strong>Kingdom</strong> Monera into two kingdoms: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. <strong>The</strong>se kingdoms include the bacteria<br />
that are found in <strong>Kingdom</strong> Monera<br />
