Natural Sciences - Unit 1 - The three kingdoms

As different living things perform the three life processes in very different ways, we divide living things into three kingdoms.

PLANT KINGDOM

No se pueden desplazar. Se fabrican su propia comida.

ANIMAL KINGDOM

Se pueden desplazar. Se alimentan de otros seres vivos (animales o plantas).

FUNGI KINGDOM

Fungi are similar to plants in that they can´t move around. However, they don´t make their own food. Fungi eat the remains of living things or grow and feed on things that are still living. Mushroom, mould and yeast are all fungi.

Los hongos son similares a las plantas en cuanto que no se pueden desplazar. Sin embargo, no se fabrican su propia comida. Los hongos se alimentan de restos de seres vivos muertos, o bien crecen y se alimentan de seres vivos que todavía están vivos.. Las setas, champiñones, mohos y levaduras son hongos.

CELLS

- All living things are made of cells.

- Different cells have different functions.
- Normally, living things have many cells, but some have only one cell, like bacteria.
