How are living things
organised?

Cells form tissues.
Tissues, such as
muscle tissue, are
made up of cells
which work together.

of tissues which

An organism is a
complete living

Many systems work
together in an
organism.
All living things are
organisms.

Kingdoms

●

Living things are classified into groups called
kingdoms.
● There are three main kingdoms: the animal
kingdom, the plant kingdom and the fungi
kingdom.
The animal kingdom
The animal kingdom
●

●

●

Animals are
multicellular.
They eat other living
things.
They can move from
one place to another.

●

●

They have a nervous
system and sense
organs.
They react to stimuli.
The plant kingdom
●

●

●
●

Plants are
multicellular.
They use sunlight
and substances
from the soil and air
to make their food.
They cannot move.
They have roots in
the ground.
The plant kingdom
●

●

They do not have a
nervous system or
sense organs.
However, they react
slowly to some
stimuli.
The fungi kingdom
●

●

●

Most fungi are
multicellular.
They do not make
their own food.
They are fixed to
something. They
cannot move.
