MONERA

FUNGI CHARACTERISTICS

2

•  Can be unicellular (yeast) or multicellular (mushrooms).

•  Can’t move about. •  Heterotrophs: feed on other living things – break

down dead matter. •  Some fungi produce mushrooms: --- visible part of the fungus --- reproduce. --- parts: cap, gills, ring and stem.

•  They can be beneficial or harmful.

FUNGI MULTICELLULAR (MACROFUNGI)

FUNGI UNICELLULAR: Yeast and Mould

PROTISTS CHARACTERISTICS

5

•  Can be unicellular or multicellular. •  Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs. •  Some don’t move; other have pseudopods

(amoebas) or cilia (paramecium)

•  There are 2 types:

ALGAE PROTOZOA

Unicellular/ multicellular Autotrophs - photosynthesis Nutritious

Unicellular Heterotrophs – absorbption Diseases - Malaria

MONERA CHARACTERISTICS

10

•  Unicellular. •  Heterotrophs (feed on other organisms – break

down matter) or autotrophs (make their own food). •  Don’t have bodies. Some have a tail, others don’t

move. •  All environments (air, land, water).

•  BACTERIA: -- small and simple (microscope)

-- Very resistant. All environments

-- Helpful or harmful.
