Kingdom
  • The five kingdoms of living things are
  • Monerans (bacteria) Monerans have one cell with
    no nucleus
  • Protists (algae, amoebas) Protists have one
    cell, but each cell has a nucleus
  • Fungi (mushrooms, yeast, molds) Most are many
    celled. They are like plants, except they cannot
    make their own food and must absorb food from
    other living things.

  • Plant (Trees, plants, flowers, grasses, ferns,
    mosses) Many celled. Make their own food.
  • Animal (Monkeys, birds, fish, spiders, snakes,
    insects). Many celled, feed on living or
    once-living things.

PhylumMost animals are separated into
vertebrates and invertebrates .Invertebrates are
animals that
