    Living organisms are made up of cells, which are the basic building blocks of life. Organisms can be unicellular, consisting of a single cell, or multicellular, made of many different cells that perform specialized functions. All living things undergo the same three main life processes: nutrition, interaction with their environment, and reproduction. Organisms can be classified into five kingdoms - Monera, Protist, Fungus, Plant, and Animal - based on their characteristics.

    What are living organisms made up of?

     All living organisms are made up of cells.

     A cell is the smallest living unit in a living organism.

     They are the basic building blocks of life.

     There are two important categories of cells:

    plant cells and animal cells..


    Living organisms can be unicellular or multicellular

     A unicellular organism consists of a single cell which performs all of


    the life processes.

    Bacteria

     In a multicellular organism, many different cells perform different


    functions.
    Animal and plant cells have some structures in common:
    Life processes
    Every living organism performs three main life processes :

     Nutrition: All living organisms take in nutrients from their environment


    to obtain energy.

     Interaction: all living organism react to stimuli. A stimulus is a change


    in the environment. It produces a reaction in an organism.

     Reproduction: living organisms need to reproduce for their species to


    survive. Most plants grow from seeds. Most animals lay eggs or have
    babies.
    Reproduction can be:

     Asexual, which involves one organism. It is common in unicellular


    organism, such as bacteria.

     Sexual, which involves a male and a female of the same species.


    Organisation of living organisms
     Cells in most multicellular organisms, such as plants and
    animals, are specialised.

     This means different cells perform different functions.

     Specialised cells form a variety of tissues and organs.


    Cells, tissues, organs and systems
     In a multicellular organism, cells join together to form
    complex structures.
     Tissues. Cells with similar characteristics and functions
    work together to form tissues.

     Organs. Tissues form organs. The cells in an organ work


    together to carry out a particular function.

     Systems. Organs working together to perform the same


    function form systems. They are the most complex
    structures in a living organism.
    The five kingdom of living things
    Living things can be classified into five groups called kingdoms.

    Monera
    Protist
    kingdom
    kingdom

    Plant
    Fungus kingdom

    kingdom Animal
    kingdom
    Animal kingdom

    This kingdom is the largest of the five kingdoms.

    Animals are multicellular organisms.

    They get the energy they need by feeding on other


    living organisms.

    Animals can move, respond to stimuli and


    reproduce.
    Plant kingdom
    Plants are multicellular organisms.

    They use photosynthesis to collect energy from the


    Sun to make their own food.

    Plants cannot move like animals, but they can


    respond to stimuli and reproduce.

    Stimuli: A plant grows in the direction of sunlight.


    Fungus kingdom
    Must fungi live on trees or in the soil.

    They can be unicellular or multicellular.

    Fungi get their nutrients from the remains of dead plants and
    animals, or working with other living organism.

    This kingdom includes various types of yeast and mushrooms.


    Protist kingdom
    Protists are usually unicellular, but some are multicellular.

    Most Protists are aquatic.

    This kingdom includes Algae and Protozoa.


    Monera kingdom
    This kingdom consists of microscopic unicellular organism.

    We can find them in the air, in water, on land, in animals and


    in people.

    All organism in the Monera kingdom are bacteria.
