Best Answer

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

^^^^

Ok yes those are the groups, I'll explain how. Prokaryotes mean they have no nucleus in which they store genetic material. Eukaryotes are organisms that do store genetic material in their nucleus. Just remember, you are eukaryotic. That way you can never confuse the two.

Until recently, life was considered to be in five kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Protista, Fungi, and Monera.

Thanks to DNA advances, now most scientists believe in a three-domain system: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya.

Archaea are considered the most ancient forms of life. Most are 'extremeofiles', living in places most life could not: the intestines of animals, extremely hot water, or extremely salty water.

Bacteria are considered more evolved, and are the most well known of the single celled animals.

Eucarya are plants, fungi, and animals, with fungi considered to be closer to animal than plant on the new tree of life.

To be able to study all the living things in our universe, we need a way to group or classify them together. Scientists divided all things into living and non-living. Then they divided those (e.g. animal kindom and plant kingdom, then continued dividing them on how the items were seimilar or dissimilar).
