IDENTIFYING AND GROUPING ORGANISMS BIOLOGY R. CHARLES

THE KINGDOMS MONERA PROTOCTISTA FUNGI PLANTAE ANIMALIA

MONERA SIMPLE SINGLE CELLED BACTERIA THEY ABSORB FOOD CAUSE OF TUBERCOLOSIS AND PNEUMONIA

PROTOCTISTA MOST ARE SINGLE CELLED BUT SOME ARE MULTICELLULAR THEY FEED BY ABSORTION, PHOTOSYNTHESIS OR INGESTING FOOD E.G AMOEBA IS UNICELLULAR E.G. SEA BAMBOO IS MULTICELLULAR

FUNGI MOST ARE MULTICELLULAR BUT SOME ARE SINGLE CELLED FEED BY ABSORBTION OF FOOD BY SIMPLE DIFFUSION E.G. YEAST IS UNICELLULAR E.G. MUSHROOMS ARE MULTICELLULAR

PLANTAE (PLANTS) MULTICELLULAR WITH SPECIALISED CELLS ( XYLEM, PHOEM, PITS, SEIVE TUBES, ROOTS, BRANCHES, LEAVES ETC) AUTOTROPHIC – PRODUCES ITS OWN FOOD BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND DOES NOT NEED TO FEED

PLANTS WITH TRUE ROOTS, STEM AND LEAVES KINGDOM PLANTAE PLANTAE ALGAE MOSSES AND LIVERWORTS PLANTS WITH TRUE ROOTS, STEM AND LEAVES

PLANTS WITH TRUE ROOTS, STEMS AND LEAVES CONE BEARING PLANTS e.g. Pine cone and acorn who reproduce by seeds, often in cones FLOWERING PLANTS e.g. trees, herbs, grasses shrubs that reproduce by seeds leading to fruit formed after pollination of flowers PLANTS THAT SONT PRODUCE SEEDS BUT REPRODUCE BY SPORES e.g. ferns

ANIMALIA (ANIMALS) MULTICELLULAR WITH SPECIALISED CELLS ( ORGANS – HEART, BRAIN, STOMACH, KIDNEYS, LUNGS ETC) HETEROTROPHIC – MUST INGEST FOOD TO SURVIVE AND CANNOT MAKE FOOD ON ITS OWN
