 Gets energy from sunlight
 Reproduce in a short

Bacteria Prokaryote (Single-celled;  breaks down or absorbs material Dividing in Two
 Can be helpful or
Unicellular) in dead or decaying organisms by Binary Fission
harmful
(decomposer/heterotroph)
 Reproduce in a short
amount of time
 Gets energy from sunlight
 Found in extreme
One-celled (producer/autotroph) Asexual:
environments [very hot,
Archaebacteria Prokaryote (Single-celled;  breaks down materials in dead or Dividing in Two
very cold, very salty,
Unicellular) decaying organisms by Binary Fission
etc.]
(decomposer/heterotroph)
 Different chemical
makeup than bacteria
 Classified based on
 Make their own food their way of getting
(producer/autotroph like plants) energy (plant-like,
Mostly
 Eating other organisms fungi-like, or animal-
One-celled
(consumer/heterotroph) Mostly Asexual like)
Protists Eukaryote but some
 Breaks down or absorbs some Sexual  Most diverse kingdom
simple
materials from dead or decaying “the leftovers”
Multicellular
organisms  Examples: algae,
(decomposer/heterotroph) seaweed, euglena,
diatom, paramecium
 Breaks down or absorbs  Can be helpful or
Mostly
materials from dead or decaying Asexual or harmful
Fungi Eukaryote Multicellular
organisms Sexual  Examples: mushrooms,
(Many-celled)
(decomposer/heterotroph) mold, yeasts
Multicellular  Producer/Autotroph – makes its Asexual or
Plants Eukaryote
(Many-celled) own food (Photosynthesis) Sexual

Eukaryote
Multicellular  Consumer/Heterotroph – feeds
Animals Sexual
(Many-celled) on or consumes other organisms
