Best Answer

In the traditional, and most widely accepted system of classification, there are 6 Kingdoms, 5 in addition to the animal Kingdom. Most scientists in the United States use this system. The following Kingdoms are used in this system:

Kingdom: Archaebacteria,

Kingdom Eubacteria,

Kingdom Protista,

Kingdom Fungi,

Kingdom Plantae,

Kingdom Animalia.

These are often categorized into 3 domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

However, United Kingdom, Australia, and South America classify Archaebacteria and Bacteria as Monera so they use only 5 kingdoms.

Moreover, the choice of system, of which there are several, is essentially arbitrary, and now open to a lot of debate among scientists. There is evidence now, that many species have been misclassified. The taxonomic world is in the throes of reorganization. As scientists gain more evidence, especially through genetic investigation, there will be more debate; and, at some point, clarity will be the consequence of this upheaval.
