FIVE KINGDOMS OF LIFE
Animalia
Plantae
Protista
Fungi
Monera

2. Animalia Common Name: Animals Type of Cells: Eukaryotic
Type of Organism: multi-cellular
Levels of Organization: Most have
organ systems
Cell – Tissue – Organ – System
Get Food By: All animals eat food &
digest the food

3. Animalia
Examples are:
Humans
Birds
Fish
Worms

4. Plantae Common Name: Plants
Type of Cells: Eukaryotic (with cell walls)
Type of Organism: Multi-cellular
Levels of Organization: To organ level
Cell – Tissues – Organ
Gets Food By: Most make their own food (photosynthesis)

5. Plantae
Examples are:
Elodea
Trees
Potato

6. Protista Common Name: Protist Type of Cells: Eukaryotic
Type of Organism: Most are single-celled
Complex cells = many organelles
Levels of Organization: Complex Cells,
If Multicellular: Tissues
Get Food By: Some take food from environment and some make their own food (photosynthesis)

7. Protista
Examples are:
Paramecium
Algae
Pond scum

8. Fungi Common Name: Fungus Type of Cells: Eukaryotic
(with cell walls but no chloroplasts)
Type of Organism: Can be Single-Celled
or Multicellular
Levels of Organization: Varies from single-celled to organs
Gets Food BY: Must absorb food from surrounding (decomposers)

9. Fungi Examples are: Yeast Mold Mildew Mushrooms Athlete’s foot
Ringworm

10. Monera Common Name: Bacteria Type of Cells: Prokaryotic
Type of Organism: Single-celled
Level or Organization: VERY simple Cells
Get Food By: Make their own food or absorb it from the environment
Interesting Facts:
Many are helpful (digestion,nitrogen cycle)
Some live without oxygen

11. Examples are: Monera E. coli Streptococcus
Microbe – disease causing bacteria
