placed into 6
kingdoms based
upon five
questions

2. Unicellular or Multicellular?
3. Producer or Consumer?
4. Does it have a cell wall or not?
5. Does it live in extreme environments?

Unicellular vs.
Multicellular
_______________________– organisms that exist in nature as a single cell; usually
microscopic
Producer vs.
Consumer
__________________________– organisms that are more complex; usually with
tissues and organs
_______________________ – (a. k a. autotrophs) organisms that can carry out
photosynthesis to obtain energy
_____________________ – (a.k.a. heterotrophs) organism that eat producers or other
consumers to obtain energy
