KINGDOM: ANIMALIA Many celled, each cell has a nucleus Found everywhere Has respiration/breathes in oxygen, breathes out CO2
Most can move on their own Many have an external or internal skeleton Heterotrophs (consumers) eat other organisms
o1st level consumers eat plantso2nd level consumers eat other animals
Examples include: fish, turtles, insects, worms, clams, and humans
KINGDOM: PLANTAE Most are more than one cell (multi-cellular), with a
nucleus Autotrophs (producers) make their own food through
photosynthesis Can’t move on their own Has respiration, takes in CO2 (most of the time) and gives
off oxygen Examples include: flowers, trees, mosses, ferns, and
flowering plants
KINGDOM: MONERAInclude two main groups - Bacteria and Cyanobacteria. Bacteria are heterotrophs because they feed on other organisms. Cyanobacteria are autotrophs because they can make their own food.
Eubacteria Single celled Very
small/Microscopic
No nucleus Simple cell
structure Found
everywhere, except extreme conditions
Asexual reproduction
Respiration, takes in oxygen (O2), gives off CO2
Found in yogurt, cheese, on skin and intestines
Archaebacteria Single celled Very
small/Microscopic
No nucleus Simple cell
structure Found in only
extreme conditions
Asexual reproduction
Respiration, takes in oxygen (O2), gives off CO2
Ancient bacteria, found
KINGDOM: FUNGI Most are many celled organisms Found in moist environments (that are rich in food sources) Cannot move on their own Feed off of other organisms by absorbing nutrients from
living off of dead organisms (heterotrophs) Examples include: mushrooms, yeast, lichen, molds, and
mildew
KINGDOM: FUNGI
KINGDOM: PROTISTA Cells are larger and more complex than bacteria One celled and many celled Found in moist environments and water Larger and more complex structure than bacteria Cells have a nucleus Many have their own way of moving, (ex. Flagella and cilia) while
some cannot move on their own. Many different types of life forms, which do not easily fit into other
four kingdoms Respiration, takes in oxygen (O2) and gives off CO2
Examples include: Amoeba, slime mold, and paramecium
