This document provides information about the characteristics and processes of living things. It discusses how living things are born from other living things, grow, reproduce, and die. It also outlines the three main life processes of nutrition, sensitivity, and reproduction. The document then classifies living things into five kingdoms - animal, plant, fungi, bacteria, and other simple organisms. It provides some key details about each kingdom. Finally, it discusses the basic components of cells.

1. UNIT 1
LIVING THINGS

2. CHARACTERISTICS OF
LIVING THINGS
• They are born from other living things.
• They grow.
• They reproduce (they have offspring).
• They die at the end of their life cycle.

3. LIFE PROCESSES OF
LIVING THINGS
• NUTRITION: Living things need food to
live and grow.
• SENSITIVITY: Living things use their
senses to react in the world around them.
• REPRODUCTION: Living things are born
from the same species.

4. REMEMBER!
• NUTRITION
• SENSITIVITY
• REPRODUCTION

15. CLASSIFYING LIVING
THINGS INTO KINGDOMS

16. Living things are classified into groups called
KINGDOMS
• THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
• THE PLANT KINGDOM
• THE FUNGI KINGDOM
• THE BACTERIA KINGDOM
• OTHER SIMPLE
ORGANISMS KINGDOM

17. ANIMAL KINGDOM
• Animals are multicellular
organisms.
• They eat other living
things.
• Most can move around.
• There are two main groups:
VERTEBRATES (they have
a spine); INVERTEBRATES
(they don’t have a spine)

18. PLANT KINGDOM
• Plants are multicellular
organisms.
• They cannot move
around.
• They use sunlight and
substances from soil
and air to make food.
• There are two kinds of
plants: PLANTS WITH
FLOWERS and PLANTS
WITHOUT FLOWERS.

19. FUNGI KINGDOM
• They can be unicellular
or multicellular.
• They cannot move
around.
• They eat the remains
of other living things.
• Yeast, mould and
mushrooms are in this
group.

20. TWO SIMPLE KINGDOMS
• There are two more
kingdoms made up of
very small and simple
organisms.
• Most of them are
unicellular organisms.

21. CELLS
All cells have:
a) NUCLEUS: it organizes
how a cell works.
b) CYTOPLASM: it’s the
liquid that surrounds the
nucleus.
c) ORGANELLES: parts of
the cell that have
different functions.
d) MEMBRANE: it’s the wall
that surrounds the cell.
