WHAT ARE THE FIVE KINGDOMS?
Scientists use criteria for classification to organise living
things into groups.
Classification enables them to compare different living
things.
Scientists classify things into five kingdoms by three main
criteria: type of cells, how the cells are grouped, and
nutrition.
Monera kingdom
Contains unicellular,
prokaryotic organisms. They
may be autotrophic or
heterotrophic.
Bacteria and cyanobacteria.
Protoctist kingdom
Contains unicellular and multicellular
living things. They are all eukaryotes. They
have no tissues. They may be utotrophic or
heterotrophic.
Protozoa, algae.
Fungi kingdom
Contains unicellular and m
Cellular living things. The
are eukaryotes. They have
tissues. They are
heterotrophyc.
Yeats, moulds, mushroom
Plant kingdom
Contains multicellular eukaryotes.
They have tissues. They are
autotrophic.
Mosses, ferns, flowering plants.
Animal kingdom
Contains multicellular eukaryotes. They have
tissues. They are heterotrophic.
Animal: may be invertebrate or vertebrate.
