2) Plant Kingdom “____________________” – multicellular, have cell walls, obtain energy through
__________________. Ex. mosses, ferns, flowering and seed plants
3) Fungi Kingdom “___________________” – cells with cell walls but not green and do not carry out
photosynthesis, break down other organic materials to obtain food. Ex. mushrooms, molds, and yeasts

and blue-green algae.
6) Archaea Kingdom “_______________________” – Live in very extreme environments. The nucleus of
bacteria cells are not bounded by nuclear membranes like cells in the other kingdoms.
