Monera

www.teachers.oregon.k12.wi.us/hanson/index2.htm

Monera are single-celled and have a cell wall. These can have no chloroplasts, other organelles, or nucleus. Monera are commonly very tiny. They have no visible structure inside the cells. There is no visible feeding mechanism. Monera absorb nutrients either through the cell wall or through the production of their own photosynthesis.

Description:

Protista

Protists are single-celled mechanisms that move by cilia, flagella, or by amoeboid. There is usually no cell wall visible, although there are exceptions. They can have organelles, nucleus and chloroplasts. They are small, although can be seen under a microscope. Nutrients are acquired through photosynthesis, ingestion of other organisms, or though the use of both.

Description:

Fungi

Description:

Fungi are multicellular organisms including a cell wall, organelles , and nucleus. However, there are no chloroplasts. They have no mechanisms for locomotion. Fungi range in size from microscopic to the very large. Nutrients are acquired though the use of absorption of nutrients from decaying material.

Plantae

Description:Plants are multicellular organisms who usually do not move. However, some gametes of plants can move through the use of cilia or flagella. There are organelles, nucleus, chloroplasts, and cell walls present. Nutrients are acquired through the use of photosynthesis

Animalia

Description:Animals are multicellular organisms. They move through the use of cilia, flagella, or muscular organs based on contractile proteins. They have organelles and a nucleus, but no chloroplasts or cell walls. Animals acquire their nutrients through the use of ingestion.

Quiz Time

Now there will be a short quiz over what you have just learned. It will ask you to choose which picture belongs to a certain kingdom. If you choose the wrong answer, it will tell you what kingdom that organism belongs to. Then, it will take you back to the question. Complete all the questions to review your knowledge of The Five Kingdoms in Biology.

Which organism belongs to the Animale Kingdom?

Which organism belongs to the Plantae Kingdom?

Which organism belongs in the Fungi Kingdom?

Which organism belongs to the Protista Kingdom?

Which organism belongs to the Monera Kingdom?
