In this video, we're going to introduce the kingdoms of the Eukarya domain. Although each of the three domains has their own respective kingdoms, in this video once again, we're only going to focus on the kingdoms of the Eukarya domain. What we need to recall from our previous lesson videos is that organisms in each domain can be further subdivided into kingdoms. The domain Eukarya specifically has four kingdoms that you guys should be aware of. Notice down below in our image, we're showing you that domain Eukarya has four kingdoms with each of these four boxes that we see down below.
The first kingdom is Kingdom Animalia, which includes tigers, humans, all the insects, and other multicellular organisms consisting of multiple types of cells. The next kingdom is Kingdom Plantae, which includes flowers, plants, trees, and other multicellular entities. The third kingdom within the domain Eukarya is Kingdom Fungi, which of course includes fungi and mushrooms, and they are mostly multicellular. The fourth and final kingdom of Domain Eukarya is the Protista, or Protists. Protists can be unicellular, but they can also be multicellular, as shown in this image.
Eukaryotes, or organisms that fall in the eukaryote domain, because of the protists, can either be unicellular or multicellular. You guys should be aware of and familiar with these four different kingdoms of the Domain Eukarya. This here concludes our introduction to these kingdoms. As we move forward, we'll continue to talk more about how organisms can be classified. I'll see you in our next video.
