  Animals 
• What is considered 'prokaryotic ?

  bacteria
• A key difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, is eukaryotic cells all have:

  a nucleus
• What are features of animals?

  Multicellular 

  Heterotrophs 

  Reproduce sexually 
• What are features of plants?

  Multicellular 

  Autotrophs 
• Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular. 

  Is yeast unicellular or multicellular?

  unicellular
• 1. Fungi feed by a special type of heterotrophic nutrition called 'saprotrophic' nutrition. 
  2. First, they secrete digestive enzymes out of their body, onto the food.
  3. These break down and digest the food.
  4. They then absorb the small nutrients into their cells.

  hyphae

• True or false? Only some protoctists can photosynthesise.

  true
• True or false? Bacteria only live in a few specific environments.

  false
• True or false? The majority of bacteria don't have anything to do with humans (i.e. they don't help us, or cause us any problems).

  True

  no

  Viruses are specifically not cells
• Viruses are considered parasites. 

  What does the term 'parasite' mean?

  An organism that depends on another organism to grow and reproduce 
• What can act as pathogens?
