Tema 4 living things
This document categorizes and describes different types of living things. It discusses animals, distinguishing between vertebrates like horses that have backbones and invertebrates like starfish that do not. It also covers plants, fungi such as mushrooms, and microorganisms including bacteria and viruses. Animals can move and cannot produce their own food, while plants cannot move but can produce food through photosynthesis. Fungi like mushrooms feed off of decaying material and cannot move or produce food. Microorganisms include beneficial bacteria that make yogurt as well as illness-causing bacteria and viruses.

Some mushrooms are edible but others are poisonous.
- 9. Moulds are fungi. Moulds can´t move. Moulds can´t make their own food. Moulds appear on certain food like bread. Moulds are made up of many hyphae. Moulds feed on decomposing material. We can make antibiotics, such as penicillin, from moulds
- 10. Yeast Yeast aremicrosc beopic fungi. They Don´t have hyphae and they don´t produce Mushrooms. We use yeasts to make foods such as wine, bread and cheese. (levadura)
- 11. Microorganisms Microorganisms arevery small living things. Some microorganisms can make yoghurt. Some microorganisms produce illnesses.
- 12. BACTERIA MICROORGANISMS Theyare the smallest micro-organisms. We can only see them with microscopes. There are beneficial bacteria, such as those that turn milk into Yoghurt. Other bacteria causes illnesses. We treat illnesses causes by bacteria with antibiotics. VIRUSES Viruses aren´t living things because They don´t carry out life processes. They depend on living things to survive. Viruses cause some illnesses such as flu. We use vaccines to protect us from viruses.
