Today I want to talk about Diversity of Today I want to talk about Diversity of Organisms. There are three main topics:Organisms. There are three main topics:

Five kingdoms of organismsFive kingdoms of organisms

11 ProkaryotesProkaryotes They include bacteria & blue-green algae. They are very tiny and can seen with the high power of a light

microscope. They consist of a single cell but do not have any true

nucleus ,mitochondria or chloroplasts.

22 ProtoctistsProtoctists They are tiny and can be seen with the low power of a microscope. They consist of the single cell with a true nucleus but some are mu

lticellular. They live mainly in water or inside other organisms.

Five kingdoms of organismsFive kingdoms of organisms

33 FungiFungi They are made up of a single call or thread-like structures called hyphae. They have cell wall and do not move.They have no chlorophyll and any

roots, stems or leaves. They are usually saprophytic or parasitic and live in soil ir inside other o

rganisms.

44 PlantsPlants All plant cells have cell wall and green plant cells contain

chlorophyll. They make their own food by photosynthesis. They do not move from place to place.

55 AnimalsAnimals They do not have any cell wall. They cannot make their own food and must take in food. Most of them can move from place to place.
