1. The five kingdoms of organisms
Prokaryotes
Protoctists
Fungi
Plants
animals

2. Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes include bacteria and blue-greeb algae (also known as cyanobacteria)
They are very tiny and can only be seen with the high power of a light microscope.

3. Prokaryotes characteristics
They consist of a single cell but do not have any true nucleus ,mitochondia or chloroplasts.
They exist in air,water,soil or inside other organisms.

4. Example Some of them cause diseases.
E.G.Cholera , meningitis and tetanus .
bacteria

5. Protoctist
Protoctists are usually tiny and can be seen with the low powder of a light microscope.
Protoctist

6. Protoctists characteristics
Most of them consist of a single cell with a true nucleus but some are multicellular.
Some are plant-like and some are animal-like.

7. Example
Examples include Amoeba , Paramecium , trypanosoma ,algae , slime moulds.
Amoeca

8. Fungi Characteristics
Fungi are made up of a single cell or thread-like structures called hyphae, which may be interwoven to form mushroom-like structures.
Like plants, they have cell wall and do not move . But unlike plants , they have no chlorophyll to make their own food and do not have any roots , stems or leaves
They are usually saprophytic or parastic and live on soil or inside other organisms, especially plants.

9. Examples
Examples include bread mould , Penicillium, yeast and mushtoom.
YEAST

10. Classification of Animals
Vertebrates
Invertebrates

11. Vertebrates Vertebrates are animals with a backbone.
The backbone is a long hard structure running along the back of these animals and is made up of many small bones called vertebre.It is also called a vertebral column.

12. Vertebrates features Some of them--- fish :
They bodies are covered by slimy scales.
They have fins for balance and movement.
They bodies are streamlined to aid movement.
They breathe with gills.

13. features They have wet , slimy skins but no scales.
Amphibians :
They have wet , slimy skins but no scales.
They have four limbs when they are adult.

14. features Reptiles : They have skin covered by hard , dry scales.
They breathe with lungs.

15. features
Birds :
They have feathers on their bodies and dry scales on their legs.
Most can fly with wings but some cannot.
They breathe with lungs.

16. Invertebrates
Invertebrates are animals without any backbone. Most of them are small. The following are some examples of invertebrates.

17. Examples jellyfish : it lives in the sea.
Freshwater flatworm: It lives in ponds and streams.
Earthworm : It has a tube-like body with segments.

18. Classification of plants
Flowering plants
Non-flowering plants

19. Flowering plants
Flowering plants are divded into momocotyledonous plants and dicotyledonous plants , usually abbreviated to monocots or monocotyledons , and dicots or dicotyledons respectively.

20. Monocotyledonous plants
They have only one seed leaf in the seeds.
Their leaves usually have parallel veins.
They are mostly herbs.

21. Dicotyledonous plants
They have two seed leaves in the seeds.
Their leaves habe a network of veins.
They can be trees, shrubs and herbs.

22. Non-flowering plants Non-floweringplants are divded into
mosses, ferns and gymnosperms.

23. mosses
They are small plants with simple stems and leaves , but no roots.
They have chorolhyll but no vascular tissue.

24. Ferns They are small plants with true roots , stems and leaves.
They have large leaves called fronds . The leaflets on either sides are called the pinnae.

25. gymnosperms Most of them have needle-shaped leaves.
They are large plants with roots , stems, leaves and vascular tissue.
Most of them have needle-shaped leaves.
