Multi-celled Organism
Plants
Vascular Plants-plants have tissues that act like tubes to transport water through
the plant. They transport water and nutrients taken up from soil through the
plants’ roots. They do not have to live close to water.
SEED
Gymnosperms-produce seeds, but do not produce flowers or fruit(conifers,
cycads, ginkgos, and gnetophytes
Angiosperms-produce flowers with seeds and fruit(apple, corn)
SEEDLESS
Horsetails
Ferns
Mosses
Nonvascular Plants-plants absorb water much like a sponge soaks up a liquid.
These plants do not have specialized tube-like tissues. Instead, water slowly
passes directly form cell to cell. They must live close to a water source The
lack of a transport system also prevents them from growing very tall. Many
barely reach a few inches full-grown.
Mosses
Liverworts
Hornworts

Single-celled organisms
Have only one cell that performs all the functions/jobs of that cell.
Bacteria Kingdom: single-celled, cells lack a nucleus, most numerous
type of organism. Some get their food from the Sun’s energy, others get
their food from eating living and nonliving materials
*cocci bacteria-rod shaped, they are used in foods such as pickles and
sauerkraut. They produce an acid that gives the food a distinctive
flavor and helps preserve it.
*bacilli-rod shaped, common in soil and water
*spirochetes-look like worms and wriggle like worms too.
Protist Kingdom: may have single cell or many cells, cells have a nucleus
and complex cell structures, some share characteristics with fungi, plants,
or animals
*Paramecium-move using tiny, hair-like structures called cilia that
cover its body. The cilia work like oars to move the paramecium
forward and backward.
*Amoebas-use a pseudopod or false foot to move.
*Algae-plant-like protests that make up much of the oxygen in
Earth’s atmosphere
*Slime mold-is a fungus-like protest. Some types ooze slowly over
dead trees and piles of fallen leaves.
Fungi Kingdom: cells have a nucleus and complex cell structures. They absorb
food or decompose other organisms. They grow fast and reproduce by spores.
