Section A, Chapter 1 Biology IGCSE

Plants
1. Are multicellular
2. They have chloroplasts
3. Their cells have cell walls, made of cellulose
4. Plants store carbohydrates as sucrose or starch.
Animals
1. Multicellular
2. Don't have chloroplast so they can't photosynthesise
3. Most have some kind of nervous coordination
4. Move from one place to another
5. store carbohydrates as glycogen
Fungi
1. Can be single celled
2. Some have a body called mycelium
  Annotations:
  - Their body mycelium is made up of hyphae, thread like structures containing lots of nuclei
3. Can't Photosynthesise
4. Feed by saprotrophic nutrition
  Annotations:
  - Meaning they secrete extracellular enzymes which digest food on the outside of the cell and absorb nutrients
5. Store carbohydrates as glycogen
Protoctists
1. single-celled and microscopic
2. some have chloroplasts
Bacteria
1. single-celled and microscopic
2. don't have a nucleus
3. have a circular choromsome of DNA
4. Most bacteria feed offf other organisms
Virus
1. very small, smaller than bacteria
2. Only reproduce in living cells
  Annotations:
  - The fact that they can do this makes them PARASITES
3. infect all other types of organisms
