    Study Notes

    Kingdom Protista

    • Comprises single-celled and multicellular organisms.
    • Includes autotrophs (organisms that produce their own food) and heterotrophs (organisms that consume others for nourishment).
    • Most members are microscopic, showcasing immense diversity.
    • Contains animal-like (protozoa), plant-like (algae), and fungus-like (slime molds, water molds) organisms.

    Kingdom Fungi

    • Characterized as absorptive heterotrophs, deriving nutrients from other organisms.
    • Digestion occurs externally, where nutrients are absorbed after processing outside their bodies.
    • Primarily multicellular, contributing to diverse ecosystems.
    • Cell walls composed of chitin, unlike plants which have cellulose.

    Kingdom Animalia

    • Exclusively heterotrophs that must ingest food prior to digestion.
    • Composed of multicellular organisms lacking cell walls, fostering various structures and functions.
    • Do not perform photosynthesis or contain chlorophyll, relying on organic matter for energy.
    • Utilize cellular respiration to convert food into usable energy.

    Kingdom Plantae

    • Consists of autotrophic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
    • Contain chlorophyll, enabling them to capture sunlight energy for the synthesis of carbohydrates.
    • Structure includes cell walls, providing support and protection.
