Kingdom Animalia

Cell Type 

• Eukaryotic
• Tissue Specialization

Metabolism

• Aerobic
• Anaerobic
• Hetrotrophic

Nutrition

• Omnivores
• Herbivores
• Carnivores

Reproduction

• Asexual
• Sexual 
• Hermaphroditic

Sample Organisms

• Variety of species located in this kingdom
• kingdom Animalia is divided into 35 sub-phylums

Kingdom Plantae

Cell Type- Eukaryotic Plant Cell

Metabolism

• Autotrophic
• Photosynthesis
• relies on sunlight
• converts carbon dioxide and water into a simple sugar - glucose and oxygen
• chlorophyll is the catalyst

Reproduction

• 1st step forming pollen and embryo sacs
• 2nd step pollination
• 3rd stepfertilization

Sample Organisms

Kingdom Fungi

Cell Type- Eukaryotic

Metabolism 

• Heterotrophs
• saprophytic-feeding on remains of dead organisms
• parasitic-feed on living hosts
• Extracellular digestion

Nutrition

• Decomposers-eat once living matter

Reproduction

• All form spores
• Asexually
• Sexually- fruiting bodies

Sample Organisms

Kingdom Protista

Cell Type - Eukaryotic Cell

• true nucleus
• membrane bound organelles

Metabolism 

• heterotrophic- Protozoa
• autotrophic - Algae

Nutrition

• Photosynthetic autotrophs make their own food using energy from light to power complex chemical reactions to make glucose.  
• Chemosynthetic autotrophs do the same thing using energy obtained from the breakdown of chemicals.
• Heterotrophs eat bacteria and microscopic algae.

Reproduction

• Asexual - spores

Sample Protozoan Organism: Amoeba

Sample Algae Organism: Diatoms
