Biology Classification Guide

The document provides information about the six kingdom classification system including characteristics of each kingdom and differences between prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses. It includes a table to fill in with details about each kingdom such as cell wall, representative organisms, and habitats. It also asks questions about functional changes in organisms over time and how those changes affect biodiversity and ecosystems.
