Q & A
What are the three vital functions that all living things have in common?
-The three vital functions of living things are interaction, nutrition, and reproduction.
How are living things classified into groups, and what are these groups called?
-Living things are classified into groups called kingdoms. There are five kingdoms: animal, plant, fungi, monera, and protista.
What are the key characteristics of the animal kingdom?
-Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic, meaning they eat other organisms, and most can move on their own.
How do plants in the plant kingdom obtain their food, and what distinguishes them from animals?
-Plants are autotrophic, meaning they make their own food through photosynthesis. Unlike animals, plants cannot move on their own.
What types of organisms are found in the fungi kingdom, and how do they obtain food?
-The fungi kingdom includes unicellular organisms like yeasts and multicellular organisms like mushrooms. They are heterotrophic, meaning they eat other organisms, particularly decomposing material.
What makes the monera kingdom unique, and what are its key characteristics?
-The monera kingdom consists of unicellular organisms that are microscopic. Bacteria in this kingdom can be autotrophic or heterotrophic, and some are beneficial (e.g., those that make yogurt) while others can be harmful (e.g., salmonella).
What types of organisms are found in the protista kingdom, and what are their feeding strategies?
-The protista kingdom includes both unicellular organisms like protozoa and multicellular organisms like algae. Some are heterotrophic (e.g., amoeba), while others are autotrophic (e.g., algae that perform photosynthesis).
What is the primary difference between multicellular and unicellular organisms?
-Multicellular organisms are made up of more than one cell, while unicellular organisms consist of a single cell.
Can organisms in the fungi and plant kingdoms move on their own?
-No, neither fungi nor plants can move on their own. Movement is a characteristic mainly associated with animals.
How do autotrophic organisms differ from heterotrophic organisms?
-Autotrophic organisms make their own food (e.g., plants through photosynthesis), while heterotrophic organisms need to consume other organisms for sustenance.

๐ Introduction to Classifying Living Things
The speaker introduces the concept of classifying living things. They remind us that all living things perform vital functions such as interaction, nutrition, and reproduction. The video will explore how living organisms are grouped into five kingdoms based on their characteristics.
๐ฆ Exploring the Animal Kingdom
The animal kingdom is described as consisting of multicellular organisms, including humans. Animals are heterotrophic, meaning they eat other organisms for survival, and most can move independently. The speaker emphasizes these core traits as defining the animal kingdom.
๐ฟ Understanding the Plant Kingdom
The plant kingdom is introduced, characterized by multicellular organisms like trees, bushes, and flowers. Plants are autotrophic, producing their own food through photosynthesis, and unlike animals, they cannot move independently. These features distinguish plants from other kingdoms.
๐ The Unique Fungi Kingdom
Fungi are either unicellular (e.g., yeasts) or multicellular (e.g., mushrooms). They are heterotrophic, consuming decomposing matter, and cannot move. These traits define fungi, setting them apart from other kingdoms. The speaker notes that fungi's inability to move is a key distinction.
๐ฆ Simple Life in the Manra Kingdom
The Manra kingdom consists of unicellular organisms, mainly bacteria, which can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. These microscopic organisms include both beneficial and harmful bacteria, such as those that help make yogurt or cause diseases like salmonella.
๐ Protista Kingdom: A Diverse Group
The Protista kingdom, also known as Productista, includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms like protozoa and algae. Some organisms in this kingdom are autotrophic, while others are heterotrophic. The speaker highlights their microscopic nature and diversity.
๐ Wrapping Up and Learning More
The video concludes by summarizing the information about the five kingdoms of living things, encouraging viewers to continue learning through more videos. The speaker promotes subscribing to the channel to further explore educational content and have fun.

Highlights
All living things fulfill the vital functions: interaction, nutrition, and reproduction.
Living things are classified into five kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Manra, and Protista.
The animal kingdom is characterized by being multicellular, heterotrophic, and most can move on their own.
Human beings are part of the animal kingdom.
The plant kingdom is multicellular, autotrophic (makes its own food through photosynthesis), and does not move on its own.
Fungi kingdom includes both unicellular organisms like yeast and multicellular organisms like mushrooms.
Fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they consume other organisms, and they do not move on their own.
The Manra kingdom is made up of unicellular organisms, which can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
Some bacteria in the Manra kingdom are beneficial, like those used to make yogurt, while others can be harmful, like Salmonella.
The Protista kingdom includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms, such as protozoa and algae.
Organisms in the Protista kingdom can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
Living things in each kingdom share common characteristics and differ significantly from those in other kingdoms.
The animal kingdom is unique in that most animals can move on their own.
Photosynthesis is the process through which plants in the plant kingdom produce their own food.
The Manra kingdom contains the simplest and most primitive life forms, visible only under a microscope.

hello everyone
today we're going to learn how we
classify living things
first let's start with a question do you
remember what all living things have in
common
and the answer is that they all fulfill
the vital functions
and do you remember what are the vital
functions here's a hint there are three
[Music]
good job
the vital functions of living things are
interaction nutrition and reproduction
well let's get down to business
there are many ways to classify living
things but the most common way is to
group them by kingdoms
there are five kingdoms in total
animal
plant
fungi
manra and protista also called
productista
we divide them in this way because the
living things in each kingdom have
common characteristics and they're
significantly different from the living
things in other kingdoms
let's take a closer look
the animal kingdom
the first Kingdom we'll talk about is
the animal
there are many many many animal species
I'm sure you know a lot of them
but did you know that human beings are
also animals let's take a look at some
characteristics of the animal kingdom
animals are multicellular that means
that they're made up of more than one
cell
interesting
all animals are heterotrophic which
means that they eat other organisms to
get the substances they need to survive
another important characteristic of the
animal kingdom is that almost all of
them can move on their own
so the characteristics of the animal
kingdom are the following
they're multicellular
heterotrophic
and most of them can move on their own
[Music]
plant kingdom
the plant kingdom is characterized by
the fact that all plants whether they're
trees bushes or flowers are autotrophic
that means that they make their own food
through a process called photosynthesis
[Music]
foreign
there are also multicellular like we
said before it means that they're made
up of more than one cell
but unlike animals plants cannot move on
their own
so the characteristics of the plant
kingdom are as follows
they're multicellular
autotrophic
and do not move on their own
foreign
the fungi kingdom is characterized by
unicellular organisms such as yeasts
or multicellular organisms like
mushrooms and mold this means that they
can be made up of one cell or many cells
all fungi are heterotrophic do you
remember what that means
that's right
heterotrophic means that they cannot
make their own food so they eat other
organisms
the thing that fungi like to eat the
most are decomposing mushrooms ew
[Music]
and would you say that they can move on
their own
of course not have you ever seen a
mushroom walking
to sum up the characteristics of the
fungi kingdom are the following
they can be both unicellular and
multicellular they are heterotrophic and
they do not move on their own
the manra kingdom
the Monarch kingdom is characterized by
the simplest and most primitive forms of
life
the manra kingdom is made up of
unicellular organisms
these organisms are so small that you
can only see them with a microscope
bacteria can either make their own food
or take it from the environment where
they live
this means that they can be autotrophic
and heterotrophic
now that's a cool fact
did you know that there are some
beneficial bacteria for humans
like those that make yogurt and others
that are harmful that can cause diseases
such as salmonella
let's sum up the characteristics of the
manra Kingdom as the following
their unicellular organisms they can be
made autotrophic and heterotrophic
and there are some beneficial bacteria
and some that can be harmful to humans
[Music]
the protista or productista Kingdom
and finally we'll talk about the
protista kingdom also called The
productista Kingdom which includes
protozoa and algae the organisms in this
Kingdom can be unicellular like protozoa
and some types of algae
or multicellular like many other types
of algae both types are only visible
through a microscope
in this Kingdom we can find
heterotrophic beings like amoeba
that eat other organisms and also
autotrophs such as algae that make their
own food using photosynthesis
let's take out our notepad for the last
time
the characteristics of the protista
kingdom are productista are as follows
they can be unicellular and
multicellular organisms and they can
also be autotrophic and heterotrophic
[Music]
oh we learned so many things about the
kingdoms of living things
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did
until next time
[Music]
we've learned so much in just one video
did you know there are many more videos
imagine how much you could learn
