The document discusses the five kingdoms used to classify living things: Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Plants, and Animals. Monera contains prokaryotic organisms like bacteria. Protoctista contains eukaryotic unicellular or multicellular organisms without tissues, like algae and amoebas. Fungi are eukaryotic decomposers like molds and mushrooms. Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs with tissues and organs like trees and ferns. Animals are eukaryotic heterotrophs with tissues, organs, and often systems like squirrels and jellyfish.

1. THE FIVE KINGDOMS

2. The kingdom is the broadest category used in the system to
classify living things.
Today, living things are classified into five kingdoms: monera,
protoctista, fungi, plants and animals.

4. • They are all unicellular. They sometimes form colonies.
MONERA KINGDOM
• Composed of organisms with prokaryotic cells.
• Some examples:
Rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria Coccus-shaped bacteria

5. • They can be unicellular, or multicellular with no tissues.
PROTOCTISTA KINGDOM
• Composed of organisms with eukaryotic cells.
• Some examples:
Amoebae Algae

6. FUNGI KINGDOM
• They are heterotrophic decomposers.
Mushrooms
• They can be unicellular, or multicellular with no tissues.
• Composed of organisms with eukaryotic cells.
Moulds
• Some examples:

7. PLANT KINGDOM
Almond tree
• They are autotrophic organisms.
• They are multicellular organisms with tissues. Some have organs.
• Composed of organisms with eukaryotic cells.
Ferns
• Some examples:

8. ANIMAL KINGDOM
Squirrel
• They are heterotrophic organisms.
• They are multicellular organisms with tissues.
• Composed of organisms with eukaryotic cells.
Jellyfish
• Some examples:
• Most of them have organs and some even have systems.

9. Apply what you’ve learned
1 Give an example, besides those seen in the presentation, of an organism
that belongs to the Protoctista Kingdom and another that belongs to the Plant
Kingdom.
Activities
2 Make a table summarising the main characteristics of the five
kingdoms.
