• PROTISTA                                                                                           unicellular or eukaryotes-amoeba.

Organisms with a definite nucleus.

• FUNGI                            

 multicellular non motile chemoheterotrophs-mushrooms.

• PLANTAE                                              

 multicellular eukaryotic organisms-plants. They are autotrophs with photosynthetic pigments in chloroplast.

• ANIMALIA                                            

multicellular motile chemo heterotrophs having cell lacking cell walls-animals.

• KINGDOM MONERA

• KINGDOM PROTISTA

•  KINGDOM FUNGI
