Horses belong to the domain Eukarya because they are complex organisms with cells that have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukarya is one of the three domains of life, which includes all organisms with eukaryotic cells, such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
The six kingdoms are Animalia (Domain Eukarya), Plantae (Domain Eukarya), Fungi (Domain Eukarya), Protista (Domain Eukarya), Archaea (Domain Archaea), and Bacteria (Domain Bacteria).
Eukarya is not within the domain Archaea or Bacteria. These two domains are distinct from Eukarya in terms of cellular structure, molecular makeup, and evolutionary history.
Mushrooms, as well as all fungi, are in the domain eukarya.
The lion belongs to the domain eukarya
Monera is actually a kingdom within the domain Bacteria and Archaea, which are both part of the domain Prokaryota. Eukarya is a separate domain that includes organisms with eukaryotic cells, which are characterized by having a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
