Kingdom Classification

Living organisms are classified into kingdoms based on their characteristics.
The five kingdoms include: Plant, Animal, Fungi, Protista, and Monera.
Plant Kingdom
- Multicellular
- Autotrophic (produce their own food)
- Examples: Margarita
Animal Kingdom
- Multicellular
- Heterotrophic (consume other organisms for energy)
- Can move
- Examples: Fox
Fungi Kingdom
- Multicellular
- Heterotrophic (obtain energy by decomposing organic matter)
- Examples: Mushrooms, Cacti
Protista Kingdom
- Unicellular or multicellular
- Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
Monera Kingdom
- Unicellular
- Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
- Examples: Algae, Salmonella

Taxonomy

Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing, and classifying all living organisms.
Classification is based on behavioral, genetic, and biochemical variations.
The process of taxonomy involves characterization, identification, and classification.
Organisms are classified into hierarchical categories: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

Viruses

Viruses are microscopic microorganisms that affect humans, animals, and plants.
They are not considered living organisms because they need a host for replication.
Examples include Influenza, which is an infectious disease.
Viruses spread through sneezing, contact with an infected person, coughs, etc.

Symptoms of the Flu

Fever
Goosebumps
Pale skin
Loss of appetite
Congestion
Croup
Sneezes
Runny nose
Red nose

Bacteria

Bacteria are living prokaryotic organisms.
They are unicellular and lack a defined nucleus.
They are found in various environments, including soil, water, and inside living things.
