FUNGI KINGDOM
Cellular Organization:
Unicellular or multicellular, the cells are eukaryotic, they have no tissues.
Size and Shape:
Unicellular fungi, like yeast, are round or oval and microscopic in size.
Nutrition:
Heterotrophic, many are saprophytes, feeding on organic material from animals or plants.
Lifestyle:
They can be free-living symbionts or parasites.
Reproduction:
Unicellular asexual, multicellular asexual, or sexual.
PROTOCTIST KINGDOM PROTOZOA
Cellular Organization:
Unicellular, they have no tissues.
Size and Shape:
Oval, round, oblong, half-moon. All are microscopic.
Nutrition:
Heterotrophic, feeding on bacteria and algae.
Habitat and Lifestyle:
Most are free-living.
Reproduction:
They reproduce asexually by binary fission.
Movement:
They move by using flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
ALGAE
Cellular Organization:
Are made up of eukaryotic cells. The cytoplasm contains chloroplasts, they can be unicellular and multicellular.
Size and Shape:
Unicellular algae are microscopic.
Nutrition:
Autotrophic, containing chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments.
Habitat and Lifestyle:
Unicellular algae are free-living.
Reproduction:
Unicellular asexual and multicellular sexual.
Movement:
Most unicellular algae float. Large algae are sessile.
MONERA KINGDOM
Cellular Organization:
Unicellular, prokaryotic.
Size:
Microscopic.
Habitat:
In the soil, in the air, in the water.
Lifestyle:
Independent cell, they form colonies.
Nutrition:
Heterotrophic, saprophytes live on dead or decomposing material, parasites feed on nutrients provided by the host organism, symbionts live in close association with another organism and both benefit. Some bacteria are autotrophs.
Reproduction:
Generally reproduce by binary fission, some bacteria can form endospores.
