There's been a certain degree of talk about kingdoms of life: how life
is generally classified. I think the most commonly accepted version is
now:
Type General Characteristics
-------- -----------------------
Animals Multicellular, no cell walls, no photosynthesis, usually mobile
You know what an aminal is.
Plants Multicellular, cell walls, photosynthesis, generally sessile
You know what a plant is.
Fungi Multicellular, cell walls, no photosynthesis, generally sessile
Fungi of all sorts -- mushrooms, etc.
Protists One-celled life with a cell nucleus
Protozoa, yeasts, most one-celled algae
Monerans One-celled life, no cell nucleus
Bacteria, cyanobacteria ('blue-green algae')
