What are the five large groups that living things can be classified into? In: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2608, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2403
[What_are_the_five_large_groups_that_living_things_can_be_classified_into]More correctly than saying all living things, you could say all eukaryotes (see diagram below). This is called the five-kingdom system of classification. I'm in the Taxonomicon at the moment and I copied this from there. I've used it for assignments before and it is very detailed. I love it.
www.taxonomy.nl - the Taxonomicon.
edit: The five kingdom system is not often used anymore in academia. This is because the monera kingdom has been eliminated and put into two domains (above the kingdom level) Bacteria and Archaea. I have edited the information below to show this change.
Biota (all living things) (viruses are NOT living)
- domain Bacteria
- domain Archaea
- domain Eukarya - for expansion see below
Eukarya
- Kingdom Animalia
- Kingdom Plantae
- Kingdom Protista
- Kingdom Fungi

Basically:
-Animal Kingdom -- this group is a very large group. It consists of both invertebrates and vertebrates. The groups within the invertebrates include: echinodermata (sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers), arthropods (insects, arachnids, and crustaceans), nematodes (roundworms) molluscs (squid, snails, clams and other bivalves with mantles), annelida (segmented worms(earth worms, leeches, etc), nemartea (ribbon worms), platyhelminthes (flat worms) Rotifera (radial symmetrical), Acoleomorpha, Cnidaria (jelly fish, corals, sea anemones, hydras) and finally porifera (sponges, and other filter feeders). The vertebrates include Agnatha (jawless fishes such as lampreys), Condrichythyes (cartilagenous fish such as sharks), Osteichythes (ones like halibut), Amphibia (amphibians (toads for example), Repitilia (snakes, alligators for example), Aves (birds), and mammals (marsupials, rodents, felines, canines, etc)
-Plant Kingdom includes a fairly big group of plants as well. Some of the plants or groups of plants that are within this group are bryophytes (mosses and lichens), liverwort, gymnosperms (conifers, decidious and other trees), angiosperms (flowering plants), Pteridophyta (ferns). These are just a few of the examples in this category. It also includes all of the algae that have pigments such as chlorophyll.
-Protist Kingdom include other eukaryotic groups. These ones are examples such as plant like algaes (that don't carry the pigment chlorophyll), these may include brown and red algae, and animal like algaes and there are also ones that are mobile such as paramecium and amoeba, and then spores for example. Flagellates with long flagella e.g., Euglena Amoeboids with transient pseudopodia e.g., Amoeba Ciliates with multiple, short cilia e.g., Paramecium Sporozoa non-mobile parasites; some can form spores e.g., Toxoplasma
-Fungi Kingdom this kingdom is known for decomposers. The popular group within fungi are mushrooms and other abiotic proerties within the environment that will work on the nitrogenous cycle.

What else can I help you with?
What are the 3 groups all living things can be placed into?
The three main groups all living things can be classified into are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. These groups are based on differences in cellular structure and biochemistry.
What are the 4 main groups of living things?
The four main groups of living things are plants, animals, fungi, and protists. These groups are based on common characteristics such as how they obtain energy and their cellular structure.
All living things can be placed into two groups what are the two groups?
Plantae and Animalia are the two groups of living things.Viruses are a curious group outside the 'living things' category, for they cannot reproduce in their own right outside of a living cell. They have DNA and RNA, and maybe they have shed all structures apart from this remnant. Perhaps they descended from other early cellular beings.So the ability to reproduce, to respire, to consume energy, and the presence of a cell wall are the characteristics that define living things.
What are the 5 characteristics all living things share?
All living things exhibit these characteristics: 1. They are made of cells. 2. They obtain and use energy. 3. They grow and develop. 4.They reproduce. 5. They respond to their environment.
