Domains
- Archaea
- prokaryotic cells
- reproduce asexually
- often found in abnormal conditions
- live without oxygen = methanobacterium
- in the three-domain system, one of the domains, comprising organisms formerly known as archaebacteria and placed in a kingdom of that name
- Bacteria
- prokaryotic cells
- reproduce sexually or asexually
- cause disease = cyanobacteria
- Eukarya
- eukaryotic cells
- the domain comprising all eukaryotes. These forms the kingdoms: Plantae, Animalia, Fungi and Protoctista

Kingdom
- Protista (algae, slime moulds, protozoa)
- Fungi (mushrooms, ringworm, yeast, moulds)
- Plantae (trees, flowers, grasses)
- Animalia (animals)
- multicellular organisms that develop from embryos

Phylum
- Porifera (sponges [mostly marine])
- a phylum of aquatic Animalia, most of which are marine. They lack definite tissues and organs, but have a filter-feeding system composed of flagellate cells, pores and canals.
- Cnidaria (jellyfish and anemones)
- a phylum that comprises the sea anemones, jellyfish and corals, and which is known from the late Precambrian.
- Platyhelminths (flatworms)
- A phylum of acoelomate, triploblastic, dorsoventrally flattened, bilaterally symmetrical worms in which the internal organs are well developed and metameric segmentation is absent.
- Annelida (segmented worms)
- a phylum of coelomate worms that have a definite head and good metameric segmentation.
- Mollusca ('muscular foot' snails, shellfish, octopuses)
- Arthropoda (exoskeleton - crabs, crayfish, lobster)
- a highly diverse phylum
- Chordata (vertebrates, spine)

- sharks and rays
- Osteichthyes
- bony fish
- perch
- Amphibia

Orders of Mammalia: Part 1
For Mammalia -
- Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates)
- the even-toed ungulates, an order of mammals that includes the camels, pigs, and ruminants, together with numerous extinct varieties. They are the most successful of the hoofed mammals.
- Carnivora (meat eaters)
- An order that comprises the modern carnivorous placental mammals and their immediate ancestors
- Cetacea (whales and porpoise)
- An order that comprises the one extinct and two extant suborders of whales
- a cetacean: a whale, dolphin or porpoise
- Chiroptera (bats)
- an order that comprises the only true flying mammals, possessing features parallel to those of birds
- Dermoptera (flying lemurs)
- an order which comprises the family Cynocephalidae and a number of extinct forms. They are herbivorous possessing a patagium, and are the most highly developed of all mammalian gliding forms.

Orders of Mammalia: Part 2
- Edentata (toothless mammals)
- a former order comprising the anteaters, tree sloths, armadillos, pangolins, and aardvarks, all of which lack incisors and have molars that are poorly developed or absent, edentate means toothless.
- Hyracoidea (hyrax)
- an order that contains the single family Procaviidae (conies, dassies, hyraxes)
- Insectivora (moles, shrew, hedgehogs)
- an order, once recognised, that included the ancestors of all eutherian mammals, nowadays grouped into four orders: Proteutheria, Scandentia (tree shrews), Macroscelidae (elephant shrews), Lipotyphla (living hedgehogs, shrews and moles)
- Lagomorpha (hares and rabbits)
- an order that comprises the families Eurymylidae (extinct forms), Ochotonidae (pikas), and Leporidae (rabbits, cottontails and hares). Diverged from primitive eutherian stock.
- an order that comprises the families Eurymylidae (extinct forms), Ochotonidae (pikas), and Leporidae (rabbits, cottontails and hares). Diverged from primitive eutherian stock.
- Marsupialia (marsupials)
- includes all marsupials. There are about 250 species of living marsupials and many extinct forms.

Orders of Mammalia: Part 3
- Pinnipedia (seals and walrus)
- the name was formerly given to a supposed suborder of Carnivora. It comprises the families Otarridae (sea lions), Odobenidae (walrus), and Phocidae (seals), together with their immediate ancestors.
- Primates (monkeys, apes and lemurs)
- an order of mammals that have adapted to arboreal life and in some forms secondarily to life on the ground
- an order of mammals that have adapted to arboreal life and in some forms secondarily to life on the ground
- Proboscidae (elephants)
- An order that comprises elephants and their extinct relatives, and is divided into four suborders.
- Rodentia (squirrel and chipmunks, hamsters, rats)
- an order of herbivorous or scavenging mammals in which the incisors are reduced to one pair in each jaw. Their teeth grow continually.
- Sirenia (manatees and dugongs)
- An order of herbivorous ungulates that have adapted to a fully aquatic life.
- Tubulidentata (aardvarks)
- an order comprising the monospecific family Orycteropodidae (Orycteropus afer, or the aardvark.
