The Diversity of living things

• The Five Kingdoms
• The Seven Levels of
• Scientific Classification

CLASSIFICATION

• methods of grouping things according to
  similarities or differences.
• Ex. by size, color, age, etc.

3

The Plant Kingdom

• Have many cells
• Plants make their own food (photosynthesis)
• Plants cannot move (roots)
• Examples are ferns, evergreens, roses

14
The Fungi Kingdom

• Cannot make their own food
• Dont contain chlorophyll (not green)
• Absorb food from organic matter
• Most have many cells.
• Examples are mold or and mildew.

Examples
16
The Monera (Bacteria) Kingdom

• Single celled
• Do not have a nucleus
  
• Absorb food
• Simplest life forms
• Examples are blue-green algae, bacteria
• Can be seen only through a microscope

Examples
18
The Protist Kingdom

• Single celled (but more complicated than bacteria
• All have a nucleus
• Absorb, ingest, and/or, photosynthesize food
• Examples are paramecium, amoeba
• Most have one or more parts that look like whips
