5 Kingdoms Moneran One celled They absorb nutrients

5 Kingdoms

Moneran § § § One celled They absorb nutrients through the cell. Example: bacteria § The Monera Kingdom consists of organisms that are made up of one cell. They are very small and very simple. Bacteria are one type of moneran.

Protist § Most one celled § Have nucleus and other cell structures § Examples: algae, amoeba § Protists are similar to monera in that they have one cell. Protists are more complex because they contain a nucleus. They also have moving parts and can move around within their environment.

Fungus § § § Many celled Cannot move Absorb nutrients from other organisms § Examples: mushrooms, yeast, molds § Fungi have their own kingdom because there is no other organism like them. They were once thought to be plants but they differ from plants in one major way. Fungi cannot make their own food. Mushrooms are a type of fungi.

Plant § Many-celled § Use energy from the sun to make sugars § Examples: trees, flowers, ferns Plants include trees, grass and flowers. They can make their own food using water and sunlight.

Animal § § § Many-celled Most can move Get energy by consuming other organisms § Examples: invertebrates, fish, birds, mammals Animals are multicellular and get their energy by consuming other organisms for food. Most animals can move.
