





They are mainly multicellular.
They are composed of threads called hyphae.
A Hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded
by a tubular cell wall.
Cell walls are made of a carbohydrate called
chitin.
They are unable to make their own food.
Their method of reproduction involves spores.
Fungi
Kingdom: Plantae


This kingdom
includes the
mosses, ferns and
seed-producing
plants.
Seed producing
plants can be
further sub-divided
into flowering and
non-flowering.
Plantae – main features






1-All plants are multicellular
2-Their cells have cell walls made of the
carbohydrate cellulose
3-Their cells often have large vacuoles
4-They are eukaryotic –have a true nucleus and
membrane enclosed organelles).
5-Chloroplasts containing the pigment chlorophyll
which enables photosynthesis. All plants are
autotrophs.
6-They reproduce asexually and sexually.

This kingdom
includes jellyfish,
flatworms, snails,

and humans.
The first animals
evolved in the sea
about 700 million
years ago.
Animalia – main features





All organisms in this Kingdom are
multicellular
They are eukaryotic - have a nucleus
and membrane enclosed organelles
Animal cells have no cell walls
All animals are heterotrophic – they
cannot produce their own food
They normally reproduce sexually.
