 * Monera:** single-celled organisms without a nucleus (bacteria)
 * This is the largest group of organisms, and they are found everywhere
 * They are microscopic, and cannot be seen by the human eye
 * Some bacterias are good for our bodies, but others can make us sick


 * Protists:** single-celled organisms with a nucleus
 * They live in dark, damp places or in water
 * Some examples are algae, seaweed, amoeba and paramecium
 * There are two types- plant-like (which use photosynthesis to create food) and animal like (which feed on other organisms to survive)


 * Fungi:** motionless organisms that consume nutrients
 * They are not plants because they do not use photosynthesis
 * Some examples include mushrooms, moulds and yeasts


 * Plants:** contain chlorophyll, a green pigment which is necessary for the process of photosynthesis
 * Their cell walls are made sturdy by a material called cellulose.
 * They are fixed in one place.
 * There are two types: flower and fruit producing, and plants that do not produce flowers or fruit.


 * Animals:** most complex organisms
 * They are multi-celled
 * They eat food for survival
 * They have nervous systems
 * There are two types: vertebrates (have a backbone) and invertebrates (do not have a back bone)
 * They are divided into groups such as anthropods, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds and fish.
