Kingdom Fungi

Overview Characteristics Classification

Kingdom Fungi consists of over 100,000 Characterized by their filamentous Classification includes Ascomycetes,
known species that play vital roles in structures called hyphae, fungi possess cell Basidiomycetes, and Zygomycetes. They
ecosystems and human life. walls made of chitin and reproduce through play essential roles in decomposition,
spores. medicine, and genetics research.
Kingdom Protista
Overview
Kingdom Protista comprises mostly
unicellular organisms and a few
multicellular organisms. They include
protozoans, algae, and slime molds.
Characteristics
Protists have varied characteristics,
such as cilia or flagella for movement,
photosynthesis, and feeding on bacteria
or other organisms.
Classification
Classification includes animal-like,
plant-like, and fungus-like protists.
Some are pathogenic, while others act
as primary producers in aquatic
environments.
Kingdom Monera
1 Overview

Kingdom Monera consists of prokaryotic organisms,

Characteristics 2 such as bacteria and archaea, that exist in diverse

environments.
They lack a nucleus, have single circular chromosomes,
reproduce asexually, and have rigid cell walls made of
peptidoglycan. 3 Classification

Classification includes Gram-positive and Gram-

negative bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, and
extremophiles. They play critical roles in
biogeochemical cycling, nitrogen fixation, and genetic
engineering.
