2. CHARACTERISTICS OF
LIVING THINGS
• They are born from other living things.
• They grow.
• They reproduce (they have offspring).
• They die at the end of their life cycle.
3. LIFE PROCESSES OF
LIVING THINGS
• NUTRITION: Living things need food to
live and grow.
• SENSITIVITY: Living things use their
senses to react in the world around them.
• REPRODUCTION: Living things are born
from the same species.
16. Living things are classified into groups called
KINGDOMS
• THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
• THE PLANT KINGDOM
• THE FUNGI KINGDOM
• THE BACTERIA KINGDOM
• OTHER SIMPLE
ORGANISMS KINGDOM
17. ANIMAL KINGDOM
• Animals are multicellular
organisms.
• They eat other living
things.
• Most can move around.
• There are two main groups:
VERTEBRATES (they have
a spine); INVERTEBRATES
(they don’t have a spine)
18. PLANT KINGDOM
• Plants are multicellular
organisms.
• They cannot move
around.
• They use sunlight and
substances from soil
and air to make food.
• There are two kinds of
plants: PLANTS WITH
FLOWERS and PLANTS
WITHOUT FLOWERS.
19. FUNGI KINGDOM
• They can be unicellular
or multicellular.
• They cannot move
around.
• They eat the remains
of other living things.
• Yeast, mould and
mushrooms are in this
group.
20. TWO SIMPLE KINGDOMS
• There are two more
kingdoms made up of
very small and simple
organisms.
• Most of them are
unicellular organisms.
21. CELLS
All cells have:
a) NUCLEUS: it organizes
how a cell works.
b) CYTOPLASM: it’s the
liquid that surrounds the
nucleus.
c) ORGANELLES: parts of
the cell that have
different functions.
d) MEMBRANE: it’s the wall
that surrounds the cell.
