The two domains that are classified as prokaryotes are Bacteria and Archaea. Monera is an outdated kingdom that was once used to classify certain prokaryotic organisms, but it has since been discredited as taxonomically invalid. Eukarya is the domain that contains all eukaryotic organisms. Protista is a diverse kingdom within the domain Eukarya that includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
