KINGDOMS

There are six kingdoms, but I'm going to discuss two kingdoms: Protista and Fungi

PROTISTA

PROTISTS CHARACTERISTICS

• Eukaryotic organisms
• Mostly unicellular, some multicellular
• Live in water Ex: algae, plankton, etc.
• Can be heterotrophic or autotrophic
• Protists aren't plants, animals, or fungus

CHARACTERISTICS THAT DON'T MAKE ORGANISMS PART OF PROTISTA

• Organisms that are animals, plants, or fungus
• Don't live in water
• Prokaryotic organisms

EXAMPLES OF PROTISTS

• Algae
• Plankton
• Sea lettuce
• Slime molds

FUNGI

FUNGI CHARACTERISTICS

• They're Eukaryotic
• They're Heterotrophic
• They're unicellular/multicellular
• They have enzymes used to break down food

CHARACTERISTICS THAT DON'T MAKE ORGANISMS PART OF FUNGI

• Prokaryotic
• They aren't Protists, animals or plants
• Autotrophic

EXAMPLES OF FUNGI

• Mushrooms
• Molds
• Yeasts
• Lichen
