What are the characteristics of organisms in each of the six kingdoms?

Answer 1

Every living creature on Earth belongs to a kingdom. Scientists debate how many kingdoms there are, but most agree there are five. Here is how the five kingdoms are organized.

MoneraMonera are single-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus. Bacteria make up the entire kingdom. There are more forms of bacteria than any other organism on Earth. Some bacteria are beneficial to us, such as the ones found in yogurt. Others can cause us to get sick. ProtistsProtists are mostly single-celled organisms that have a nucleus. They usually live in water. Some protists move around, while others stay in one place. Examples of protists include some algae, paramecium, and amoeba. FungiFungi are usually motionless organisms that absorb nutrients for survival. They include mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. PlantsPlants contain chlorophyll, a green pigment necessary for photosynthesis, a process in which plants convert energy from sunlight into food. Their cell walls are made sturdy by a material called cellulose, and they are fixed in one place. Plants are divided into two groups: flower- and fruit-producing plants and those that don't produce flowers or fruits. They include garden flowers, agricultural crops, grasses, shrubs, ferns, mosses, and conifers. AnimalsAnimals are the most complex organisms on Earth. Animals are multi-celled organisms, eat food for survival, and have nervous systems. They are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates and include mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds and fish.

Actually, there are now six kingdoms. The five kingdom was during the 1969 and it included all the bacterias within one group. The five kingdom system is as follows:

1. Monera: Bacteria. They are prokaryotic and unicellular. They are mobile.
2. protista: Protists. They are eukaryotic. Either autotrophic, heterotrophic, or even mixotrophic. They live live as unicellular, multicellular, or even as a colony. Some are mobile while some are sessile.
3. animalia: Animals. Eukaryotic and are heterotrophic. They are all multicellular and are mobile.
4. plantae: Plants. Eukaryotic and mostly autotrophic (some parasitic plants are heterotrophic). They are multicellular and sessile.
5. fungi: Mushrooms, fungus, etc. Eukaryotic and heterotrophic. They are multicellular and sessile.

Answer 2

1animal-multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic

2plant-multicellular, eukaryotic, autotrophic

3protista-eukaryotic, unicellular, can be autotrophic or heterotrophic

4fungi-eukaryotic, heterotrophic, can be unicellular or multicellular

5morena-prokaryotic, autotrophic and heterotrophic

*no 6

autotrophic-makes own food

heterotrophic-gets food from environment

prokaryotic-no nucleus

eukaryotic-has nuclues

Answer 3

1. The Kingdom that the organism is assigned to is based on:
2. Its cell type (complex or simple)
3. Its ability to make food or not
4. The number of cells in the body

Answer 4

well.... we as humans are animals... so what do you think????
