Each living thing must have most of the following

• Ability to move around from place to place, or
  make things inside it move around
• Eat to get energy to breathe, move, and grow
• Grow during its lifetime
• Breathe in gases
• Change as it reacts to the environment
• Reproduce to make the next generation

Scientists divide all living things into 5
Kingdoms

• Protist
• Monera
• Fungi
• Plant
• Animal

5
Protista

• Complex, single-celled life forms
• Usually can only be seen through a microscope
• Can be parasites that cause disease
• Examples ameba, paramecium, simple algae

6
Monera

• Simple single cells
• Shaped like, rods, spirals, and round balls
• Seen only through a microscope
• Example bacteria

7
Fungi

• Many-celled organisms
• Absorb food from living or dead things
• Parasitic plants, but do not have any chlorophyll
  (cannot make their own food)
• Examples mushrooms, bread mold, penicillin,
  mildew, and yeast

8
Plants

• Contain chlorophyll used to make their own food
• Divided into vascular and nonvascular plants

9
Animals

• Divided into 2 main groups
• 1. Invertebrates animals without backbones
• 2. Vertebrates animals with backbones
