The most modern taxonomic classification system. It is basically the same as the five kingdoms, except that the kingdom Monera is split into two separate kingdoms (eubacteria and archaebacteria). This system has not yet acheived wide recognition like the five kingdoms have.

  • Animalia - Animals
  • Plantae- Plants

  • Eubacteria - All other monerans
