Classification of Life

Study of classification is known as Taxonomy.
Life is organized into 5 Kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.

Monera

Organisms in this kingdom typically reproduce asexually.

Protista

Protists are primarily found in environments where water is present.
Two examples of protists include Amoeba and algae.

Fungi

Examples of fungi include mushrooms, mildews, molds, and yeasts.
Fungal structures called Hyphae consist of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall.
The cell wall of fungi is primarily made of the carbohydrate chitin.

Plantae

Seed-producing plants are categorized into flowering and non-flowering plants.
Plants are multicellular organisms with cell walls composed of cellulose.
Plants are classified as eukaryotic, meaning they have complex cells with a nucleus.

Animalia

Animals are also classified as multicellular organisms.
Reproduction in animals typically occurs sexually.
