Cards in this deck (4)
- 1Living organisms can be grouped together by the features they share in common. Three main groups are: Plants, Animals, Fungi
- 2Plants. Are: Multicellular, have chloroplasts, can photosynthesise, Have cellulose cell walls, store carbohydrates as sucrose or starch. Herbaceous legumes like tomatoes
- 3Animals. Are: Multicellular, DON'T have chloroplasts, so DON'T photosynthesise. No cell wall around the membrane. Have a Nervous Control System to adapt to surrounding. Move around. Store carbohydrates as glycogen.
- 4Fungi. Some are single celled, others have a body called mycelium, made of Hypae (thread like structures), Hypae contain lots of nuclei. Cell walls are made of chitin.Fungi use saprotrophic nutrition: this uses extracellular enzymes to break down food, so it can then be absorbed. They can store carbohydrate as glycogen.
