- fungi- make spores to reproduce cell walls made from chitin
- Protoctista- most made up of just one cell eg, algae
- animals- feed on other organisms, made of lots of cells, no cell wall
- prokaryotes- have n nucleus, cell wall but not made of cellulose eg, bacteria
- a species is a group of organisms which are capable of interbreeding to produce a fertile offspring
