• based on
cells &
source of
Old food
New
Monera
• prokaryotic organisms
• simple 1 cell (few organelles)
• Ex. bacteria, blue-green algae and
cyanobacteria
*no true nucleus prokaryote (genetic
material scattered and not
enclosed by a membrane)
*some move (flagellum);
others don't
* some make their own
food (autotrophic); others
can't make their own food
(heterotrophic)
This video animation shows how a filamentous
cyanobacterium uses its sheath and ability to move to
defend itself against a ciliate grazer.
Protista
• eukaryotic organisms – can be
photosynthetic, absorptive or ingestive.
• Complex 1 cell (many organelles)
• some move (cilia, flagella, pseudopodia);
others don't
• Ex. amoeba, diatom, euglena,
paramecium, some algae (unicellular), etc
Diatom species
are identified by
their unique
shapes.
An array of
single-celled
diatoms
resembles a
game of pickup sticks.
Fungi
• eukaryotes. Feed by absorption
• non-motile
• multicellular - cell wall but no chloroplasts
*have nuclei
*mainly do not move from place to place
• rare in oceans

areas
Plantae
• eukaryotes
• Multicellular ~cell walls
(cellulose) photosynthesis
(chloroplasts)
• Nonmotile
• Ex. multicellular algae,
seaweed, kelp, sea grass
Animalia
Animalia
• Multicellular ~ no cell wall or chloroplasts
• Motile
• Ex. sponge, jellyfish, coral, fish, frog, bird,
man
• multicellular, ingestive
