Animals are _____________________ and cannot make their own food. c. Like plants, animals are __________________________ organisms, but animal cells lack _________________________ and have just one ________________________. KINGDOM ANIMALIA The final kingdom, the Kingdom Animalia, is the biggest one. There are over one million species of animals. 11 AGC/United Learning 1560 Sherman Ave., Suite 100 Evanston, IL 60201 800-323-9084 Animals are heterotrophs and cannot make their own food. Like plants and fungi, animals are multicellular organisms, but animal cells lack cell walls and have just one nucleus. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIVE KINGDOMS OF LIVING THINGS KINGDOM MONERA The very simplest living things belong to the Kingdom Monera. Many monerans are of microscopic size. There are about 3000 different types, or species, of monerans. About half the species of monerans are bacteria, while the other half are primitive, plant-like organisms like these, known as blue-green algae. All monerans are unicellular, meaning they possess just one cell. Moneran cells are unique because they lack a nucleus. The nucleus is typically a rounded structure found only in cells of non-moneran organisms. In animals, plants, fungi, and protists, the nucleus is where most of the informationstoring DNA is located, but because monerans lack a nucleus, their DNA is spread around inside their cells. The 10 AGC/United Learning 1560 Sherman Ave., Suite 100 Evanston, IL 60201 800-323-9084 other characteristic of monerans is that their cells are surrounded by a thick outer cell wall. Cells walls are found only in monerans, fungi, and plants. Some monerans, in particular the blue-green algae, can manufacture food using the sun’s energy. Such organisms are called autotrophs. Other monerans, including most bacteria, cannot make their own food. These organisms are called heterotrophs. To review, the characteristics of monerans are—they are unicellular, lack a nucleus, have cell walls. and can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. KINGDOM PROTISTA The next kingdom of living things, the Kingdom Protista, consists of microscopic plant-like and animal-like creatures that are often referred to as protozoa. The Kingdom Protista has about 30,000 species. All protists are unicellular. They have a nucleus, but lack cell walls. Like the monerans, some can make their own food and are autrophic, while others are heterotrophic and cannot make food. KINGDOM PLANTAE The members of the Kingdom Plantae are multicellular organisms. This means they are made from many cells. Plant cells have both a nucleus and a cell wall. Plants are autotrophs and are able to use the sun's energy to make their own food. There are about 285,000 species of plants. KINGDOM FUNGI The members of the Kingdom Fungi - the mushrooms, molds, and yeasts—are also multicellular organisms. However, unlike plants, fungi are heterotrophs and cannot make their own food. Fungi cells have cell walls and almost always have more than one nucleus. There are about 100,000 species of fungi. KINGDOM ANIMALIA The final kingdom, the Kingdom Animalia, is the biggest one. There are over one million species of animals. 11 AGC/United Learning 1560 Sherman Ave., Suite 100 Evanston, IL 60201 800-323-9084 Animals are heterotrophs and cannot make their own food. Like plants and fungi, animals are multicellular organisms, but animal cells lack cell walls and have just one nucleus. As we have just seen, the world of living things is fantastically diverse. However, behind all of life's diversity lie important principles that are still not fully understood, but scientific research continues to add to our understanding each day. And with improved understanding come other benefits such as amazing new ways to fight disease, to improve food supplies, and to increase the human lifespan. VIDEO QUIZ 1. TRUE OR FALSE? Heterotrophs can make their own food. 2. TRUE OR FALSE? Plants are multicellular organisms. 3. TRUE OR FALSE? Bacteria are Monerans. 4. TRUE OR FALSE? Homeostasis means maintaining a balanced internal environment. 5. TRUE OR FALSE? Mushrooms belong to the Kingdom Protista. 12
