The kingdom Animalia, also known as Metazoa, encompasses all animals, making it the largest kingdom with over one million species. Animals are multicellular organisms that rely on others for nutrients.

\ PLANTAE A group of all plants that are found on earth They can be both; sexual & asexual Plants have chloroplast and chlorophyll pigment. This is required for photosynthesis They have photosynthesis Without plants, life on Earth could not exist Plants feed almost all of the organisms that feed other organisms Plantae is the second largest kingdom Organisms that make their own food Plants are all multicellular They show alterations of generations Consist of complex cells FUNGI Unlike plants, fungi are unable to make their own food They feed off of parts of plants that are decaying inside soil Most fungi are multicellular Contain many complex cells Fungi include mushrooms, mold and mildew Some are edible while others could kill humans ANIMALIA Some of the less complex animals can grow back missing body parts Also referred to as metazoa All animals are made up of many different cells They rely on other organisms for their nutrients The animal kingdom is the largest kingdom with over 1 million species They reproduce sexually by sperm & eggs Include mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians Most are free moving All animals are apart of this kingdom EUBACTERIA Some eubacteria can make their own food while others have to find it Certain Eubacteria are able to induce serious diseases including tuberculosis, meningitis, anthrax, leprosy, cholera and tetanus. Can be different shapes such as round, comma shaped, or spirals. Are complex and single celled Examples of eubacteria include E. coli, Lactobacilli, & Azospirillum Lack a nuclear membrane Consist of a single cell lacking a nucleus includes DNA that is a single circular chromosome Eubacteria in the human guts help with the process in food digestion and synthesis of vitamin K. Protects the human body from harmful bacteria ARCHAEBACTERIA Are known to be the longest living organisms on earth The name "archae" means ancient One of the first places archaebacteria were first found was in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments such as hot or salty There are three different groups of archaebacteria: methanogens, halophiles, & thermophiles. PROTISTA Protists are eukaryotic, this means they have a nucleus. Can be found anywhere on Earth where water exists. Even in humans. Examples of protists: algae, amoebas, euglena, plasmodium, & slime molds Protists can be parasites Primarily live in water although some live in soil. A diverse collection of organisms. Most are unicellular They can sometimes be very different from one another A single cell organism apart of the protista kingdom. The include all organisms that are NOT bacteria, animalia, plantae or fungi
