Five Kingdoms

• A very brief description of the types of living
  things

2
Monera
Bacteria--weve covered these.
Most are heterotrophsget food from somebody else
Unicellularone celled, but may be colonial
Prokaryotesdont have a nucleus. DNA is spread
throughout the cell.
Have a cell wall
3
Protists (Protozoa)
Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs
Unicellular
Eukaryoteshave a nucleus
Dont have cell wall
4
Fungi
All heterotrophs
Eukaryotes
Unicellular or multi-cellular
Many are saprophytesdecomposers. Some are
parasitesthey live off living organisms.
All have chitin in their cell walls.
5
More Fungi, because its fun
6
More Fungi
More than 70,000 species of fungi 38,000 are
mushrooms.
Fungi secrete enzymes for external digestion.
The only thing fungi cant recycle is plastic.

Fungi
Helpful Yeast, food source, decomposers,
antibiotics, immunosuppressantsused in
transplants, help plants to absorb nutrients
Harmful Moldsloss of food, crops, Human and
animal diseases-athletes foot,
ringworm Toxicmost people cant tell which are
or arent Allergies and other respiratory
problems Damage to buildings
8
Plants
Eukaryotes
Multicellular
Autotrophs
Have cell walls
9
More plants
Can be very simple
Some have very complex flowers and fruits. May
have developed relationships with insects or
birds for pollination.
10
More plants
Two main groups are angiospermsflowering plants
And gymnospermscone bearers
11
Animals
Eukaryotes
No cell wall
Heterotrophs
Multi-cellular
