classifying life

Hello,

In science class, we have been learning about classifying living things into different categories that are more specific. The categories start off as kingdom, then phylum, then class, order, family, genus, and the most specific is species. The broadest category is Kingdom and five types of living things fall into it.  Monera, Protist, Fungi, Plants, and Animals.

Although bacteria are part of the monera kingdom, it is similar to protists because they are both living organisms made of singular cells. However, they are different since bacteria are prokaryotic cells, and protists are eukaryotic cells.

Fungi and plants share similarities like how they are both made of multiple eukaryotic organism cells, can produce seeds, and have similar growth patterns. But, plants are producers in a food chain while fungi are decomposers.

Plants can be similar to animals in multiple ways like how they both are made of various cells, they both grow, they need nutrients, and even though they both move, there is a difference in how they move. Plants move slowly whereas animals move way faster and more frequently, compared to plants.
