E.g. Beans Peas Maize
Protoctists are:

Amoeba more like animal
Plasmodium - Malaria
Animals are:
Multicellular
No Chloroplasts
Store Carbs as glycogen
E.g. Humans Mosquito
Fungi are:
NO PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Organised into a Mycelium
Thread-like structures called hyphae contain nuclei
Wall made of chitin
Saprotrophic
Store carbs as glycogen
Multi- Mushroom and mold
Uni- Yeast
Bacteria are:
Single celled
Wall, membrane, cytoplasm, plasmids
Circular chromosome of DNA
Some photosynthesise
Other eat dead or alive organisms
