Living Things Study Guide Key
Directions: Write the definition for each of the terms below.
Vertebrates: animals with backbones
Invertebrates: animals without backbones
Vascular: plants that have roots, stems, leaves, and tubes (xylem & phloem)
Non-Vascular: plants that do not have a tube system so they must absorb their nutrients
Cell: the basic unit of structure and function of all living things
Organelle: smaller parts of a cell that have a specific function in the life processes of a cell
Plants
Directions: Next to each term write Vascular(V), Non-Vascular(NV), or Both(B)

Animal Cells? Sphere (circle)
A: Both plant and animal cells contain identical cell structures
B: The activities of both plant and animal cells are controlled by a nucleus
C: Plant cells have a thick membrane that supports and protects the plants

Classification is the act of grouping things by a set of rules such as
similarities and differences
The Moneran Kingdom is made up of microscopic one-cell organism. They have no nucleus. They
absorb their food and reproduce by dividing. Bacteria and blue-green algae belong in this kingdom.
The Protist Kingdom is made up of mostly one-cell organisms. They have a nucleus. Some can
produce their own food. They reproduce by dividing. Amoeba, paramecium and euglena belong in
this kingdom.
The Fungi Kingdom is many of one- or many-celled organisms. They absorb their food, so they are
decomposers. They reproduce by spores or hyphae. Mushroom, mold, and yeast are examples of
fungi.
The Plant Kingdom is made of many-celled organisms. They produce their own food through the
process of photosynthesis. Plants can reproduce in different ways. There are many different
types of plants including flowering plants, ferns, mosses, and conifers.
The Animal Kingdom is made of many-celled organisms. They eat plants and other animals.
Humans, fish, birds, snakes, snails, and jellyfish all belong in this kingdom.

Why do scientists use the classification process? Scientists use classification to help better
categorize different living things.
