(c) Domain Eukarya: Unicellular and multicellular organisms having cells with internal compartments that serve various functions. (a) Domain Bacteria: Mostly unicellular prokaryotes that inhabit many diverse environments on Earth. (b) Domain Archaea: Unicellular prokaryotes that often live in extreme environments, such as hot springs. Protists: Unicellular and small multicellular organisms that are now subdivided into seven broad groups based on their evolutionary relationships. Plants: Multicellular organisms that can carry out photosynthesis. Fungi: Unicellular and multicellular organisms that have a cell wall but cannot carry out photosynthesis. Fungi usually survive on decaying organic material. Animals: Multicellular organisms that usually have a nervous system and are capable of locomotion. They must eat other organisms or the products of other organisms to live. a: © Dr. David M. Phillips/Visuals Unlimited; b: © B. Boonyaratanakornkit & D.S. Clark, G.
