- make their own organic substances from inorganic ones, by photosynthesis
- have several groups within
- ferns
- have leaves called fronds and reproduce with spores that grow on the backs of the fronds
- flowering plants
- have flowers and seeds for reproduction
- monocotyledons
- seeds containing a single cotyledon
- flowers have parts in sets of three
- their leaves are often strap-shaped with parallel veins
- often have a branching root system
- dicotyledons
- seeds containing two cotyledons
- flowers usually have parts in sets of four of five
- leaves are often broad, with a network of veins
- often have a tap root
- ferns
- fungus kingdom
- cells with cell walls not made of cellulose
- multicellular or single-celled
- feed on dead or decaying organic material
- protoctist kindgom
- single-celled with a nucleus
- some have cell walls and chloroplasts, and some do not
- prokaryote kingdom
- single-celled organisms, with no nucleus, mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum
- have a cell wall, but are not made of cellulose
- viruses
- not usually classed as living organisms because they are not made of cells
- a virus is a piece of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat
- not usually classed as living organisms because they are not made of cells
