Some biologists prefer a three-domain classification scheme— Bacteria (eubacteria), Archaea (archaebacteria), and Eukarya (eukaryotes)—to the five-kingdom classification (Figure 1.19). The basis for this preference is the emphasis on biochemistry as the basis for classification. 

Figure 2.75 Phylogenetic interrelation of organisms. Eukaryotes dominate the Earth surface and use Sun energy. Prokaryotes and eubacteria (bacteria) and archaea (archaebacteria) are mostly chemolithoautotrophic.
