Identifying what kingdom a microbe is in

• Protista: Single-celled organisms that are not plants or animals.
• Protozoa: single-celled organisms that are animal-like. They may include amoebas, ciliates, and flagellates.
• Algae: Photosynthetic organisms that are unicellular or multicellular
• Fungi: eukaryotic, multicellular, reproduce by spores
• Monera: single-celled organisms that do not have a true nucleus or true cell wall
• Prokaryota: single-cells organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
• Amoeboid: Movement is by pseudopods, which are extensions of the cell body.
• Ciliated: little hairs that help the cell move around
• Flagellated: A bacterium that has a flagellum, a whip-like structure that propels the bacterium through the water
