Living Systems: 5 Kingdoms
• Animal : one of the living kingdoms whose members lack
cell walls, are multi-celled organisms, and have
locomotion abilities.
• Plant: one of the living kingdoms whose members have
cell walls, and chloroplasts, which allow them to produce
food.

Plant Kingdom
• Multi- celled organism
• Make their own food
• 2 Types of Plants:
• Vascular
• Non-vascular
Vascular Plants
• Vascular plants have roots.
• These plants make their own food and get
nutrients for survival through their roots in
the ground.
• Some examples of vascular plants are trees
and bushes.
Vascular Plant (Bushes)
Trees
Nonvascular Plants
• Nonvascular plants do not have roots.
• These plants get food by passing nutrients
slowly from one cell to the next.
• An example would be moss.
Liverworts
Nonvascular Plant
(Spanish Moss)

Types of Organisms
• Organisms that eat green plants or animals
are called consumers.
• Organisms that use the sun’s energy to
make food are called producers.
• Organisms that break down dead plants
and animals and use them for food are
called decomposers.
Organisms
• Carnivores are meat eaters.
• Herbivores are plant eaters.
• Omnivores eat plants and animals.
• What are humans?
Adaptations
• An organism can adapt to its environment
to survive structurally and behaviorally.
• A structural adaptation is a physical
characteristic an organism uses to survive.
Example: Long beak on a bird
• A behavioral adaptation is an activity an
organism performs to survive.
Example: Hibernation
