All living things belong to a kingdom.
All the individuals in a kingdom share
similar characteristics.

kingdoms.

PLANT KINGDOM
Plants can’t move
around. They make
their own food.
FUNGI KINGDOM

LIFE PROCESSES
The three life processes of all living
things are interaction, nutrition
and reproduction.
Interaction Through the process of
interaction all living things react to their environment.
Nutrition Through the process of nutrition all living things obtain the
nutrients they need to live.
Reproduction Through the process of
reproduction all living things make new individuals.

PlantsPlants obtain nutrients from theirenvironment and make them into food.

HOW DO ANIMALS AND PLANTS REPRODUCE?
AnimalsAnimal reproduction can be:
• Asexual: an animal makes a new individual from a part of its body. • Sexual: a male and a female mate. After that, the new individual forms. Most animals reproduce sexually. They
can be oviparous or viviparous.
Oviparous
After a male and a female mate, each baby forms inside an egg. The baby grows inside until it is big enough.
Viviparous
After a male and a female mate, babies grow inside the mother until it is big enough to born.
PlantsPlant reproduction can also be:
• Asexual: a part of a plant makes a complete new individual. For example, a spider plant.
• Sexual: in it there are three processes. Pollination.
Fertilisation. Germination.
