Organic Matter
The five kingdoms in biodiversity are Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Monera. The Animal kingdom includes multicellular organisms with specialized cells, while Plant kingdom comprises multicellular photosynthetic organisms. Fungi are multicellular eukaryotes that obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter. Protists are a diverse group of mostly unicellular eukaryotes, and Monera consists of unicellular prokaryotes like bacteria.
