Living Things
How do we know is something is ‘living’? All living things are characterised as being able to do 3
things
NRI Can
you guess what these letters stand for?
The 3 characteristics of Living ThingsNutrition – Animals need food for respiration,
plants need minerals from the soil
Reproduction – the ability to produce offspring to keep the species in existence
Interaction – responding and reacting to the environment
Classification of Living Things Everything that
is living can be sorted into these
5 kingdomsKingdom Moneran
Protist Kingdom
Fungi Kingdom
Plant Kingdom
Animal Kingdom
Kingdom Monera Tiny, single-celled organisms Do not have a nucleus:
Prokaryota E.g. bacteria
Protoctist Kingdom Single-celled or multicellular
organisms with a nucleus: eukaryota
Live in damp places of water Protozoa- Algae
Fungi Kingdom Eukaryotic heterotrophic Body is made up of a network of
threads called hyphae E.g moulds, mushrooms, yeasts
Plant Kingdom Multicellular – made up of lots of
cells Make their own food by
photosynthesis Plants without seeds/plants with
seeds: flowering plants (angiosperms) / non-flowering plants (gymnosperms)
Animal Kingdom Multicellular – made up of may
specialised cells Cannot make own food- heterotrophs Can be further classified into
vertebrates and non-vertebrates then into classes such as amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals
Task- Plants without flowers: gymnosperms- Plants with flowers: angiosperms- Animals invertebrates: Porifera (sponges)- Animals invertebrates: Cnidaria (polyps
and meduse)- Animals invertebrates: worms- Animals invertebrates: arthropods- Animal invertebrates: molluscs- Animals vertebrates: fish, amphibians,
reptiles, birds, mammals-
Task You will see several images of living
beings and you should classify them in one of the following categories:
- Monera kingdom- Protoctist: Protozoa- Protoctist: Algae (red, green or brown)- Fungi that form mushrooms- Fungi: moulds- Plants without seeds: moss- Plants without seeds: ferns-
