The ADA guide lists we need to know:
Six-Kingdom, Three-Domain System: plantae, animalia, protista, fungi, eubacteria (bacteria), archaea

What are the 6 kingdom and 3 domain systems?

Isn't bacteria and archaea 2 of the 3 domains?
 
Domains- Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya
Kingdoms- Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia
Each of these kingdoms falls under one of the domains.
Archaebacteria- under Archaea
Eubacteria- under Bacteria
Last 4- all under Eukarya
Hope it helps!

Do we need to know the kingdom monera?? Where does that fall into?

You don't really need to know it, it's a defunct kingdom used in an old classification system. It encompassed bacteria and archaea but excluded eukarya.

Thank you. I saw it in destroyer biology section with the blue green algae.. couldn't find it in your notes so I was confused. It belongs to the cyanobacteria in the domain bacteria is all we need to know?

I think there was some issue categorizing cyanobacteria in that Monera generally encompassed all bacteria except cyanobacteria because of its ability to photosynthesize (so it was categorized under Plantae instead). Otherwise Monera was its own kingdom that included bacteria and archaea, not vice versa.

Yup! Mainly that blue green algae is in fact NOT algae and is cyanobacteria, so it belongs under bacteria vs under kingdom plantae. Trick question since it's called algae when it's really not. 😕
