Five Kingdoms of Living Things
• God’s benevolence is attested to by His
abundant provision for the needs of His
creatures and in His constant sustaining of
the cosmos.
• God is the Creator of all things (Genesis
1:1, Exodus 20:11, Ecclesiastes 11:5;
Romans 1:20).
Five Kingdoms of Living Things
• God preserves and controls His creation
so that it continues to function as He
planned (Genesis 1; Nehemiah 9:6; Job
9:5-7; Amos 4:6-10).
• God uses the creation to reveal His
existence and character (Romans 1:20;
Hebrews 3:3-4).
Five Kingdoms of Living Things
• Classification is simply a way to put an
order to God's creation.
• Biologists have taken an enormous
amount of data and have arranged it into
five kingdoms of living things.
• These classification systems allow us to
see the similarities and relationships that
exist between organisms in creation.
• The five kingdom classification is the most
important contribution biologists have
made in understanding God’s creation.
Each living thing must have most
of the following:
• Ability to MOVE around from place to
place, or make things inside it move
around
• EAT to get energy to breathe, move, and
grow
• GROW during its lifetime
• BREATHE in gases
• REPRODUCE to make the next generation
• CHANGE as it reacts to the environment
Remembering is easy!
My move
Eggs are- eat
Baked with- breathe
Green and- grow
Red - reproduce
Capsicums - change
The biodiversity of God’s creation organised into a ‘five kingdom’
Note: The recent discovery of Bacteria which is part of God's
creation that live in extreme environment are placed under the
Archaea. Bacteria and Archaea come under Monera.
The 5 Kingdoms
1. Taxonomy
a. the science of identifying, naming,
and classifying
2. Classification
a. the act of placing objects in groups
based on characteristics
3. Scientists use both of these to
organize living organisms.
4. The largest group living things are
placed in is a kingdom (there are 5).
5. The smallest classification group is
the species. The second smallest is
the genus.
Protista:
• Complex, single-celled life
forms (eukaryotic)
• Usually can only be seen
through a microscope
paramecium
• Can be parasites that cause
disease
ameba
• Can make its own food or feed
on other living things
• A protist has a nucleus.
• Examples: ameba, paramecium,
simple algae
Monera:
• Simple single cells (prokaryotic)
• Shaped like rods, spirals, and round
balls
• So small they can only be seen
through a microscope
• No nucleus!
• Example: bacteria

Examples:
Kelp, ameba,
paramecium
Fungi:
• Many-celled organisms
• Absorb food from living or dead
things (consumers).
• Parasitic “plants” (They are not true
plants because they do not have
chlorophyll to make their own food.)
• Examples: mushrooms, bread mold,
penicillin, mildew, and yeast
Plants:
• Many-celled
• Contain chlorophyll used to make
their own food (producers) and gives
them a green color (photosynthesis)
• Have cell walls and large vacuoles
• Divided into two main groups:
vascular and nonvascular plants
I. Two major groups of plants:
A. Vascular plants:
1. Have conducting tissues (xylem and
phloem), leaves, stems and roots.
2. Have a root system for anchoring
the plant and absorbing water and
nutrients from the soil.
3. Have vessels that make tubes for
moving water throughout the plant.
B. Non-vascular plants
1. Do not have conducting tissues,
leaves and roots. They are small.
2. Require water for fertilization so they
must grow in moist habitats.
3. Reproduce by spores.
4. Have rhizoids that hold them in
place.
Vascular and Nonvascular
• Tall
• Has roots, root hairs,
stems, tubes
• Some have flowers, fruit,
seeds
• Chlorophyll
• Some reproduce by
spores
• Have a cell wall
• Need water, air, sunlight
• Short
• Do not have roots,
leaves, flowers, root
hairs, stems, fruit, tubes,
seeds
• Chlorophyll
• Reproduce by spores
• Have a cell wall
• Need water, air, sunlight
• Have rhizoids that hold
them in place but do not
absorb water or nutrients
Vascular Vs. Non-Vascular

Connecting Learning
Draw a picture of the celery and moss the next day.
Mark the waterline on your cup. Find and record
the ending mass of the celery and moss.
Measure the height of the celery and the moss.
Record all information with labels.
1. How did the moss and celery change?
2. Which plant moved the most water? Explain
with data.
3. Which structures help vascular plants move
water?
4. Why do you think vascular plants are larger than
nonvascular?
5. Is an oak tree a vascular or nonvascular plant?
How did this experiment help you with this
question?
6. What are you wondering now?
Animals:
• Divided into 2 main groups:
1. Invertebrates: animals without
backbones
2. Vertebrates: animals with
backbones
Vertebrate
