4 -Eukaryotes -Most are unicellular, some multicellular -Some have double shells made of silica -Found in pond water or near water! -Protists are sometimes called the odds and the ends of the kingdoms because its members are so different from one another

5 -Eukaryote -Cell walls with chitin -Most multicellular, some unicellular -”Absorptive” heterotrophs; get nutrients through extracellular digestion -Fungi are organisms that biologists once confused with plants. Most obtain food from parts of plants that are decaying in the soil

6 Plantae

7 -Eukaryotes -No cell walls or chloroplasts -Multicellular -Heterotrophs -Vertebrates & invertebrates -The animal kingdom is the largest of all the six!
