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
