I'm wondering if someone can help me properly order and make sense of all this.
I've learned about all this stuff at one time or another but its all become a big jumble in my head. I want to know the scientific break down of all the classifications of life.

what I mean is:


* Amphibians
* Birds
* Fishes
* Invertebrates
* Mammals
* Reptiles
Is the "animal kingdom", ya? Is there a technical term for it?

Then there's like types of cells, I think:
archaea, eukarya, and bacteria

And I've also seen em divided like this in regards to kingdom:
kingdom archae.. kingdom plantae..kingdom eubacteria, kingdom protista, kingdom fungi, and kingdom animalia

Then there's the ranks: kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, family
I think?

Where does species fit in there?

Are viruses officially included as life?


Thanks
