Animalia
Plantae
Fungi
Protista or Protoctista
Bacteria
1.Kingdom Animalia
• Multicellular – “made up of many cells”
• Obtain food/energy by eating and
digesting
• Reproduce sexually
• Can live in many different environments
o
Freshwater, soil, land, jungles, houses!
• HUGE range of sizes
o
Microscopic worms to whales
2. Kingdom Plantae
• Multicellular
• Obtain energy by converting sun energy
into their own “food” a.k.a. photosynthesis
• Reproduce sexually! Really!
• Come in diverse forms in a HUGE range
of sizes
o
Mosses all the way to giant sequoias
3. Kingdom Fungi
• Also multicellular but some fungi (like
yeast) are organisms made of a single cell
• Obtain energy/food “opposite” from the
way animals do…
• Hugely diverse!
4. Kingdom Protista
• Live in water, moist habitats, soil, on
trees, inside other organisms
• Diverse ways that protists:
o
o
o
o
Reproduce
Obtain food/energy
Are shaped (and size varies, too)
Live their lives!
• Diseases include malaria, giardia..
5. Kingdom Bacteria
• Single celled
• Come in many different shapes
• Can live in any environment
o
soil, really hot areas, places with little oxygen,
etc...
• Some obtain food/energy from the
environment
• Some obtain energy by converting the
sun’s energy (photosynthesis)
5. Kingdom Bacteria
• Used for environmental clean-up efforts.
• Reproduce by dividing in two (to produce
two “daughter” bacteria/cells)
• Some exchange small amounts of DNA
