Decoding the 5 Kingdoms: Understanding Key Differences in Cell Structure and Energy Consumption

1. What defines each kingdom and how we tell them apart Separating The 5 Kingdoms

2. Have cells with a membrane bound nucleus, so they are eukaryotic Get chemical energy from consuming external products, can eat or engulf, e.g. cover the food and break it down inside the cell. Always start as a sperm joining with a egg and form a zygote in early development. Animalia

3. Have membrane bound nucleus with a cell wall made from cellulose. Photosynthesise, make food from water, carbon dioxide and the sun The more carbon dioxide around them, the faster they can photosynthesise and therefore grow faster All plants as a embryo All go through 2 phases, the embryo phase and the growing phase Plantae

4. All are have 1 or more cells Have a membrane bound nucleus with Their cell wall is made from chitin Most develop from a spore Break down their food out side their body using enzymes and then absorb it through their cell membrane Are able to reproduce by them selves Fungi

5. Membrane bound cell without a necleus(prokaryotic) Most are bacteria It is estimated that we only know 5 - 10% of them Most can only be seen with a microscope Most are single celled Cause illnesses Evolve fast due to their short life spans They binary fission, 1 splits into 2, 2 splits into 4 etc. Cell wall made from carbohydrate and protein. Monera

6. One or more cells Membrane bound nucleus Photosynthesise but aren’t plants Can be microscopic but also can be big Are things that don’t fit easily into any other category Protoctista
