Kingdom Fungi

The organisms in kingdom fungi include mushrooms, yeasts, molds,


rusts, smuts, puffballs, truffles, morels, and molds. More than
70,000 species of fungi have been identified. The fungi constitute
and independent group to that of plants and animals. They live
everywhere in air, in water, on land, in soil, and on or in plants and
animals. Some fungi are microscopic and other extend for more than
a thousand acres. Mycology is a discipline of biology which deals
with the study of fungi. Fungi appear like plants but are closely
related to animals. Fungi are not capable of producing their own
food,so they get their nourishment from other sources. Fungi are in
a wide variety of sizes and forms and have great economic
importance.

Kingdom Eubacteria

Bacteria are single-celled, prokaryotic organisms that occur alone or


in chains or groups belonging to Kingdom Eubacteria. They are
smaller than plant or animal cells. They are sometimes referred to
as the "true bacteria." Bacteria are the most diverse and abundant
group of organisms on Earth.

KINGDOM PROTIST

Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant,


animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are
multicellular. Kelp, or 'seaweed,' is a large multicellular protist that
provides food, shelter, and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems.

KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA

The Archaea (Listeni/rki/ or /rke/ ar-kee- or ar-kay-; singular


archaeon) constitute a domain or kingdom of single-celled
microorganisms. These microbes are prokaryotes, meaning that they have
no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles in their cells.

KINGDOM ANIMALIA

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia


(also called Metazoa). All animals are motile, meaning they can move
spontaneously and independently, at some point in their lives. Their body
plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a
process of metamorphosis later on in their lives. All animals are
heterotrophs: they must ingest other organisms or their products for
sustenance.

A heterotroph (/htrtrof, -trf/;[1][2] heteros = "another", "different"


and trophe = "nutrition") is an organism that cannot fix carbon and uses
organic carbon for growth.[3][4] Heterotrophs can be further divided based on how
they obtain energy; if the heterotroph uses light for energy, then it is considered a
photoheterotroph, while if the heterotroph uses chemical energy, it is considered a
chemoheterotroph.

Phototrophs (Gr: , = light, = nourishment) are the organisms that


carry out photon capture to acquire energy. They use the energy from light to carry
out various cellular metabolic processes. It is a common misconception that
phototrophs are obligatorily photosynthetic.

The Apicomplexa (also called Apicomplexia) are a large phylum of parasitic protists.
Most of them possess a unique form of organelle that comprises a type of plastid
called an apicoplast, and an apical complex structure. The organelle is an
adaptation that the apicomplexan applies in penetration of a host cell.

Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera. They are multicellular organisms that
have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them,
consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells.

The annelids, also known as the ringed worms or segmented worms, are a large phylum, with over
17,000 extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches.

The nematodes /nmtodz/ or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. They are a diverse animal
phylum inhabiting a very broad range of environments

Cnidaria is a phylum containing over 10,000 species of animals found exclusively in


aquatic environments: they are predominantly marine species. Their distinguishing
feature is cnidocytes, specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey

Echinoderm is the common name given to any member of the Phylum


Echinodermata of marine animals. The adults are recognizable by their radial
symmetry, and include such well-known animals as starfish.

Crustaceans form a very large group of arthropods, usually treated as a subphylum,


which includes such familiar animals as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and
barnacles

Plants, also called green plants, are multicellular eukaryotes of the kingdom
Plantae. They form an unranked clade Viridiplantae that includes the flowering
plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns.

The gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and
Gnetales. The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek composite word , meaning
"naked seeds", after the unenclosed condition of their seeds.

Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes and also higher plants, form a large
group of plants that are defined as those land plants that have lignified tissues for
conducting water and minerals throughout the plant.

Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and
phloem. Although non-vascular plants lack these particular tissues, many possess

simpler tissues that are specialized for internal transport of water. Non-vascular
plants do not have a wide variety of specialized tissue types.

The flowering plants, also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta, are the most
diverse group of land plants, with about 350,000 specie
