MONERA: The Monera Kingdom is made up of only unicellular organisms, more commonly known as bacteria. This means that these organisms only have one cell and are less complex than other organisms. Bacteria have a cell wall as well as naked DNA. Those apart of the Monera Kingdom do not have a nucleus or organelles. Many other parts that would normally be found in other organisms are absent in these specific living things. Bacteria give off oxygen and obtain their nourishments from the surface that they are living on. Bacteria move by rotating in liquid environments.
PROTISTA: The Protists Kingdom consists of eukaryotic organisms, discluding animalia, plantae, and fungi. These organisms do not have much in common, besides the facts that these organisms are overly simplistic. Protists are aquatic and marine organisms since most protist ingest dissolved particles in water,other bacteria, and due to their inability of movement. Protists receive their energy from sunlight from a process called photosynthesis. Protists move by using their flagella or cilia, which resemble small, moving hairs.

ARCHAEA: Archaea are single-celled micro-organisms without a nucleus or organelles. Archaea are very similar, but not to be confused with bacteria. This particular kingdom has caused great controversy among scientists. Some believed that Archaea should have remained apart of the Monera Kingdom, however after much debate, Archaea became its own kingdom. Places where Archaea is commonly found are hot springs, salt lakes, soils, oceans, marshlands, the human colon, oral cavity, and skin.
PLANTAE: Those a part of the Plantae Kingdom are multicellular organisms meaning more than one cell, called plants. The Plantae Kingdom consists of virtually all plants, including approximately 300–315 different species. Plants have cell walls and cellulose, and acquire their energy from the sun, using a process known as photosynthesis. Plants are immobile, however some plants make movements. For instance, some plants such as flowers open and close while other plants’ stems grow until they find an object to grasp onto.
A Jasmine Flower (Jasminum) is apart of the Plantae Kingdom.
FUNGI: Those a part of the Fungi Kingdom, known as fungus, are both unicellular and multicellular organism. One main characteristic that distinguishes Fungi from plants and bacteria is chitin in their cell walls. Chitin is a fibrous substance made up of polysaccharides. Fungi obtain their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, generally by discharging digestive enzymes into the environment. The way that these organisms move is by growing, and their spores travel through either the air or through the water.
ANIMALIA: Those a part of the Animalia kingdom are multicellular organisms, known as animals. Consisting of approximately 950,000 different identified species, all animals have the ability to move impulsively throughout their lifetime. All animals are dependent upon other organisms. They must eat other organisms or their products in order to obtain nourishment. Varying in size, weight, colour, and shape, animals divide into two groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones, while invertebrates lack backbones. Animals have the ability to reproduce either sexually, asexually, or even both.
