1.3 feature of organisms

• five kingdoms: animals, plants, fungi, protoctists & prokaryotes
• animals are multicellular
• plants are multicellular
• animals cells have a nucleus, but no cell walls nor chloroplasts
• plants cells have a nucleus, cell walls & chloroplasts
• fungi are usually multicellular
• most protoctists are unicellular, while some can be multicellular
• prokaryotes are often unicellular
• fungi cells have a nucleus & cell walls (not made of cellulose)
• all protoctists have a nucleus. some may have cell walls & chloroplasts
• prokaryotes cells have cell walls (not made of cellulose) & cytoplasm, but no nucleus nor mitochondria
• animals get their nutrition by eating other living things
• plants get their nutrition by making their own food through photosynthesis
• fungi feed by saprophytic nutrition & parasitic nutrition
• saprophytic nutrition - nutrition obtained from dead or decaying material/organisms
• parasitic nutrition - nutrition obtained from live material/organisms
• some protoctists get their nutrition by making their own food through photosynthesis. some get their nutrition by eating other living things
• some prokaryotes get their nutrition by eating other living things
