5 KINGDOMS
1. Animal kingdom
- Multicellular - They can´t make their own food - They are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates
2. Fungi kingdom
- Multicellular - They can´t make their own food. They break down organisms.
- There' s one unicellular fungi. Which one?
3. Plant kingdom
- Multicellular - They make their own food from sunlight and water
How is this process called?
4. Monera kingdom
- Bacteria - Unicellular - They get their nutrition from other organisms - You need a microscope to see them
5. Protist kingdom
- Different shapes and sizes - There are:
Multicellular (make their own food)
Unicellular (take in food)
HOW DO SCIENTISTS CLASSIFY LIVING THINGS?
They classify them by characteristics. Scientists use dichotomous keys to differentiate the characteristics of living things with questions that have two answers.
WEIRD ORGANISMS
Some organisms develop characteristics that aren´t usually associated with their classification. For example:
PLATYPUS: lay eggs. It' s not a reptile, fish or bird. What is it?
VENUS FLYTRAP: gets energy by eating insects. It can also make its own food. What is it?
WEIRD ORGANISMS
SPIROBRANCHUS GIGANTEUS: looks like a tree, known as Christmas tree worm. Its tentacles are mouths. What is it?
LICHEN: it' s both a fungus and an alga living together in the same organism
LEAF- TAILED GECKO: can mimic leaves to avoid being eaten. What is it?
LEAVES, ROOTS, STEMS, FLOWER, FRUIT
YEAST
PHOTOSYNTHSIS
IT' S A MAMMAL
IT' S A PLANT
IT' S AN ANIMAL
IT' S AN ANIMAL
