6. Protists Unicellular or multicellular Autotrophs or heterotrophs Eukaryotic – organized nucleus Examples: Amoeba, paramecium, euglena, algae.

7. Fungi Most are multicellular Some are unicellular Eukaryotes Heterotrophs Feed on dead and decaying organisms Sessile-cannot move on own. Mushrooms, molds, mildew.

8. Plant Multicellular Eukaryotes Autotrophs Sessile Roses, magnolias.

9. Animals Multicellular Eukaryotes Heterotrophs Mobile-can move on own Specialized sense organs
