4. Kingdom Protista (protists) - divided into two major
divisions
Protozoans- animal-like protists; unicellular
eukaryotic organisms (ex. amoeba, euglena,
paramecium, trichomonas)
Algae- plant-like protists; multicellular eukaryotic
organisms; some are photosynthetic; mostly are
aquatic (ex. green algae, red algae)
7. Kingdom Fungi- they were once considered plants
but scientists discovered that they cannot produce
their own food; non-photosynthetic; multicellular
eukaryotic organisms
Example: molds, yeast, mushrooms; disease-
causing fungi like athlete’s foot and ringworm
9. Kingdom Plantae (plants) - generally called
producers because they can make their own food
through the process called photosynthesis;
multicellular eukaryotic organisms
Example: non-flowering plants such as mosses
and ferns
flowering plants which could
be fruit-bearing or cone-bearing
11. Kingdom Animalia (animals)- multicellular
eukaryotic organisms
Invertebrates- animals that do not have
backbones (ex. insects, arachnids, corals,
sponges, worms, mollusks, crustaceans)
Vertebrates- animals that have backbones
(ex. fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds,
mammals)
