Kingdom:

Plants (EW)

Characteristics:

1.Most of the plants are eukaryotic and chlorophyll containing organisms.

2.Cell walls of plant cells are comprised of cellulose.

3.They have an ability to grow by cell division.

4.In life cycle of plant cells, the interchanges occur from the embryos and are
supported by other tissues and self produce.

5.Plants have both organs and organ systems.

6.They obtain their energy from sun through photosynthesis.

7.Plants reproduce both by sexual and asexual.

8.Plants develop a self defense mechanism to protect them from being destroyed
by animals, fungi and other plants.

9.Organisms within Kingdom Plantae are multicellular, eukaryotic and autotrophic.

10.They lack motility.

 Fungi (EW)
Kingdom Fungi Characteristics

General characteristics of fungi are as follows:

1.Fungi are eukaryotic organisms.

2.They are non-vascular organisms.

3.They reproduce by means of spores.

4.Depending on the species and conditions both sexual and asexual spores may be produced.

5.They are typically non-motile.

6.Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alteration of generation.

7.The vegetative body of the fungi may be unicellular or composed of microscopic threads called hyphae.

8.The structure of cell wall is similar to plants but chemically the fungi cell wall are composed of chitin.

9.Fungi are heterotrophic organisms.

10.They fungi digest the food first and then ingest the food, to accomplish this the fungi produce exoenzymes.

11.Fungi store their food as starch.

12.Biosynthesis of chitin occurs in fungi.

13.The nuclei of the fungi is very small.

14.During mitosis the nuclear envelope is not dissolved.

15Nutrition in fungi - they are saprophytes, or parasites or symbionts.

16.Reproduction in fungi is both by sexual and asexual means. Sexual state is referred to as teleomorph,
asexual state is referred to as anamorph.

 Protists (EU)

Characteristics of Kingdom Protista

1.General characteristics of Kingdom Protista are as follows:

2.They are simple eukaryotic organisms.

3.Most of the organisms are unicellular, some are colonial and some are multicellular like algae.

4.Most of the protists live in water, some in moist soil or even the body of human and plants.

5.These organisms are eukaryotic, since they have a membrane bound 6.nucleus and endomembrane systems.

7.They have mitochondria for cellular respiration and some have chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

8.Nuclei of protists contain multiple DNA strands, the number of nucleotides are significantly less than complex eukaryotes.

9.Movement is often by flagella or cilia.

10.Protists are multicellular organisms, they are not a plant, animal or fungus.

11.Respiration - cellular respiration is primarily aerobic process, but some living in mud below ponds or in digestive tracts of
animals ares strict facultative anaerobes.

12.Nutrition - they can be both hetreotrophic or autotrophic.

Flagellates are filter feeding, some protists feed by the process of endocytosis (formation of food vacuole by engulfing a
bacteria and extending their cell membrane).

13.Reproduction - some species have complex life cycle involving multiple organisms. Example: Plasmodium. Some reproduce
sexually and others asexually.

14.They can reproduce by mitosis and some are capable of meiosis for sexual reproduction.

15.They form cysts in adverse conditions.

Some protists are pathogens of both animals and plants.
