CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIVE KINGDOMS OF LIVING THINGSAll the species in a particular kingdom have similar characteristics in terms of their growth and the way they function. Now let's look at where the family relationships that define nature's kingdoms come from: Nutrition. Autotrophic (makes its own food) or heterotrophic (feeds on other living things). Cell organisation. Unicellular (having only one cell) or multicellular (having two or more cells). Cell type. Eukaryotes (the genetic material is surrounded by a membrane) or prokaryotes (lacking a membrane). Respiration. Aerobic (needs oxygen) or anaerobic (does not use oxygen). Reproduction. Sexual, asexual or through spores.

A bacteria is not much more tha... View More
