The Five Kingdoms
  1. Prokaryotes
    1. Have no nucleus
      1. Loop of naked DNA (no chromosomes/ histone proteins), Non linear.
        1. Have no membrane bound organelles
          1. Have smaller ribosomes. (70s)
            1. Carry out respiration in special membrane systems called mesesomes
              1. Have smaller cells than eukaryotes
                1. May be free living or parasitic, some cause diseases
                2. Protoctists
                  1. are eukaryotes
                    1. mostly single-celled
                      1. Show a variety of forms
                        1. Show various plant or animal like features
                          1. are mostly free living
                            1. have autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition
                              1. The only thing that they all have in common is that they don't fit into any of the other kingdoms.
                              2. Fungi
                                1. are eukaryotes
                                  1. Have a body that consists of Mycelium, which is made of long strands called Hyphae
                                    1. Have walls made of Chitin
                                      1. Have cytoplasm that is multinucleate
                                        1. are mostly free living saprophytic (cause decay of organic material)
                                        2. Plants
                                          1. Eukaryotes
                                            1. Multicellular
                                              1. Cellulose cell wall
                                                1. produce multicellular embryos from fertilised egg.
                                                  1. Have autotrophic nutrition
                                                  2. Animals
                                                    1. Eukaryotes
                                                      1. multicellular
                                                        1. Hetrotrophic
                                                          1. have fertilised eggs that develops into a ball of cells called a blastula.
                                                            1. Usually able to move around
