• Cells have a nucleus, but don't have cell wall or choloroplasts.
• feed on organic substances made by other living organisms,

ANIMALSCHARACTERISTICS

• Multicelular
• Cells have a nucleus, cell wall are made of cellulose and often contain choloroplasts.
• Feed by photosynthesis.
• May have roots, stems and leaves.

PLANTSCHARACTERISTICS

• Usualy Multicelular
• Have Nuclei
• Have cell walls, are not made of cellulose.
• Do not have cholorophyll.

• Feed by saprophytic or parasitic nutrition.

FUNGI CHARACTERISTICS

• Multicelular or Unicelular.
• Cells have a nucleus.
• Cells may or may not have a cell wall and chloroplasts.
• Some feed by photosynthesis and others feed on organic substances made by other organisms.

PROTOCTISTA CHARACTERISTICS

• Often unicelular
• Have no Nucleus
• Have cell walls, are not made of cellulose.
• Have no mitochondria.

PROKARYOTES CHARACTERISTICS

SOME EXAMPLES

Did you know that starfish don't hava brain? Aquatic animals don't need a brain or heart to survive.
