Hi I am the Monera Kingdom!Please read and write down some notes about my kingdom.­ Monera are single­celled organisms

­ Bacteria make up the entire kingdom.

­ There are more forms of bacteria than any other organism on Earth.

­ Some bacteria are beneficial to us

(Ex: Ones found in yogurt for digestion, make cheese, breakdown dead material)

­ Others can be harmful and cause us to get sick.

(Ex: Strep, Staph, Bubonic Plague, Food spoilage)

­ The monera are the simplest of organisms, almost all microscopic.

­ Some monera can be both autotrophic and heterotrophic.

­ Some produce their own food by photosynthesis (using energy from the sun to produce food) like plants do, but many cannot and rely on eating dead and decaying matter.

­ Some have whip like flagella (tail) that allow them to move.

­10,000 species.

Hi I am the Protist Kingdom!Please read and write down some notes about my kingdom.­ Protists can either be plant­like, animal­like, or fungi­like. They are similar to other groups, but do not completely fit in.

­ Most protists are single celled and microscopic.

­ They usually live in water.

­ Some protists move around, while others stay in one place.

Ways to move:

Cilia ­ small hair like structures surrounding organism

Flagellum ­ tail like structure at end of organism

Pseudopod ­ foot like structure

­ Examples of protists include some algae, paramecium, and amoeba.

­ Some are autotrophs and produce their own food by photosynthesis (plant­like protists);

others must ingest other living things and are heterotrophs (animal­like protists).

Protists can even be parasitic. (fungus­like protists)

­ 250,000 species

Hi I am the Fungi Kingdom!Please read and write down some notes about me. ­ Fungi are mostly multicellular, but some are single celled organisms.

­ They are NOT PLANTS

­ Fungi are usually motionless organisms.

­ Examples: mushrooms, molds, bread molds, and yeasts.

­ Fungi are heterotrophs and get nutrients and energy by absorbing and digesting from the surface they live on.

­ Most Fungi reproduce by spores.

­ Range from small to large.

Hi I am the Plant Kingdom!Please read and write down some information about me.­ Plants are multicellular and consists of about 260,000 species of plants.

­ Plants are autotrophs and can make their own food because of a process called photosynthesis (a process of making sugar with sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide).

­ Plants have chlorophyll, a green pigment, which helps trap the Sun's light for photosynthesis.

­ Plants are divided into two groups: vascular plants vs. nonvascular plants.

­ Examples: garden flowers, agricultural crops, grasses, shrubs, ferns, mosses, and conifers.

­ Plants have both male and female parts and reproduce mainly by sexual reproduction.

­ A select few plants can reproduce asexually as well as sexually.

Hi I am the Animal Kingdom!Please read and write down information about me.­ Animals are the most complex organisms on Earth.

­ Animals are multi­celled organisms,

­ Animals eat food for survival making them heterotrophic.

­ They use the process of respiration to release energy from their food.

­ They are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates

­ They have many organ systems ­ nervous system, digestive system, circulatory system

­ 1,000,000 species.

­ Reproduce sexually ­ offspring are a combination of both parents.
