In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus published a system for classifying living things, which has been developed into the modern classification system. Recently the classification system of life was changed to include not five but six kingdoms, as well as
three domains. Earlier classification attempts were based mostly on structural features. Classification of many species, old and
new, continues to be hotly disputed as scientists find new information or interpret facts in new ways. Now, DNA technology
has allowed scientists to re-examine the relationships between organisms to refine the classification system.
One of the modern kingdoms contains organisms with a wide variety of characteristics, including: unicellular or multicellular,
autotrophs, ingestive heterotrophs, or absorptive heterotrophs, They can live in water, soil, and even living bodies. They are all
eukaryotes. Which kingdom is best described here?
