The five-kingdom system of classification reflects the idea that all organisms can be separated into two main groups: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The new six-kingdom system recognizes three broader groups that include six kingdoms. How do the three basic groups of the six-kingdom system differ from those of the 5-kingdom system? A) The six-kingdom system has three domains in order to includes a new kingdom for viruses. B) The six-kingdom recognizes the vast differences in protists and divides them into two kingdoms. C) The six-kingdom system has three domains: two domains separate all prokaryotic organisms into two new groups. D) The six-kingdom system adds a broader classification of domain to divide all living things into three groups: microorganisms, plants, and animals.

Answer;

C. The six-kingdom system has three domains: two domains separate all prokaryotic organisms into two new groups.

Explanation;

  • The six-kingdom system has three domains: two domains separate all prokaryotic organisms into two new groups.
  • Organisms are classified into three Domains and into one of six Kingdoms of life. The three-domain system has Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, while the Kingdoms are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
  • All eukaryotic organisms are in the domain Eukarya. Prokaryotes are divided into two kingdoms and two domains, Archaea and Bacteria.
