There are five kingdoms that classify living things: Plantae, Animalia, Fungus, Protist, and Monera. Each kingdom can be characterized by their cell type (unicellular or multicellular), how they obtain nutrition (photosynthesis or consuming other organisms), and other distinguishing features. For example, plants are multicellular and produce their own food via photosynthesis, while animals are multicellular and obtain nutrition by consuming other organisms.

3. We can classify living things by:
Type of cells:

Number of cells:
Type of nutrition:

4. PLANTAE KINGDOM:
Plants are multicellular.
Different types of plants include trees, grass, flowers,…
Plants are very important to the life of almost every other
living thing: produce OXYGEN.
They make their own food through a process called
photosyntesis.

5. ANIMALIA KINGDOM:
Animals are multicellular. Cells do not have a cell wall.
They CANNOT make their own food. They get the energy
they need by feeding on other living things (plants, fungi, and
other animals )
This kingdom is the largest of all the kingdoms. From
elephants to snails, animals come in many shapes and sizes.
More animals have the ability to move.

6. FUNGUS KINGDOM:
Fungus can be unicellular or multicellular.
Fungus CANNOT make their own food. They obtain the
nutrients they need from the remains of dead plants and
animals.
They reproduce using spores .
Mushrooms are
multicellular fungi.

7. PROTIST KINGDOM:
Protist can be unicellular or multicellular. Cells have nucleus:
EUKARYOTIC.
More protists are found in water.
7

8. MONERA KINGDOM:
All organism in this kingdom are unicellular. These cells
haven’t nucleus: PROKARYOTICS
We can found them on land, in the air, in water and inside
other living.
Bacteria belongs to the Monera Kingdom.
We use some bacteria to
make food, such as cheese
and yoghurt.
Some bacteria can cause us
to get sick.
