single/multiple
cells
Protists
Fungi
Plants
cell membrane
and cell wall
Acquire nutrients?
autotroph/heterotroph
reproduction
Most are single;
some live in
colonies; some
made of many cells;
cell membrane
Some are autotrophs (have chlorophasts)
Some are heterotrophs
Most
reproduce
asexually
Multi-cellular
cell membrane
and rigid cell
wall
No chloroplasts (*see lichens)
Heterotophs; many are decomposers
(break down dead organic matter)
Multi-cellular
cell membrane
and rigid cell
wall
Autotrophs (although some plants
“supplement” nutrient intake from their
environment)

Vocabulary
Prokaryotic: single cell organisms that do not have a nucleus; fossil evidence dating back 3.6 billion years
Eukaryotic: single or multi-cellular organisms that have a nucleus and cell membrane around organelles
Autotroph (producer): organism that can make its own food
Heterotroph (consumer/decomposer/parasite): organisms that cannot produce their own food & get their food from their environment
Asexual Reproduction: offspring come from one parent; are identical to that parent
Lichen: combination of a fungus and an algae that grow together
Gymnosperm: woody, vascular seed plant whose seeds are not enclosed by an ovary or fruit
Angiosperm: flowering vascular seed plant that produces seeds within a fruit
