The 5 Kingdoms document outlines the main kingdoms of life: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists, and Monera. Animals cannot produce their own food and must eat other organisms, while Plants can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Fungi absorb dissolved food through their cell walls containing chitin, and Protists are mostly single-celled microorganisms with nuclei. Monera are microscopic single-celled organisms without nuclei that typically absorb their food.

1. The 5 Kingdoms Animals Plants Fungi Protists Monera

2. Animals :Animalia Many celled organisms that cannot make their own food. They have to eat other plants and animals to produce energy . Animals cells do not have ridged walls This kingdom includes: Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fish, Mollusks, Sponges, Worms, Insects, And Spiders.

3. Plants : Plantae Many celled organisms that make their own food by a process called photosynthesis Plants have cells with rigid walls with cellulose in them. This Kingdom includes Flowering Plants, Trees, Mosses, And Ferns .

4. Fungi : Fungus Organisms Fungi have no chlorophyll. Fungi dissolve their food and then absorb it. The Fungi cell walls contain mostly chitin.The same substance found in insects exoskeletons. This kingdom includes Molds, Mildews, Rust, Yeast, Mushrooms, and more.

5. Protista : Protists Prostists are mostly one celled microorganisms including plant and animal like organisms. This kingdom includes Algae, Amoebas, Paramecia , Diatoms, Euglenas, and many more. Protists have cells with a true nucleus.

6. Monera : Monerans Monera are microscopic one-celled organisms. Their cells don’t have a true nucleus. Most Monera absorb their food. This Kingdom includes Bacteria and Blue/Green algae.
