1. Monera (prokaryotes)
2. Protista (eukaryotes)
3. Fungi (eukaryotes)
4. Plantae (eukaryotes)
5. Animalia (eukaryotes)

Problem is where do the Archaea sit? Some put them in Monera, some say there are actually 6 kingdoms - Monera broken into Archaebacteria (ancient bacteria) and Eubacteria (true bacteria).

What I can say is that Archaea are definitely NOT bacteria.
