You have to make your own food with the use of sunlight.


Plants produce a substance called chlorophyll


Two types of plants:

1. Vascular plants: have tubes inside to move water and other fluid from the roots to the leaves. Most of out food comes from these.

The Fungi Kingdom

  • Fungi absorb nutrients form the surface it is attached to.

  • You can find fungi on food that was left in the frig for to long

  • Chromista found in watery habitats and have mostly only one cell

  • Protozoa water loving are unicellular

  • Bacterica one cell with a cluster of gentic material

  • Archaea one one cell, need a mircoscope to see it
