There are five main groups for living organisms called kingdoms.These are:

1) Animal-
Multicellular organisms, which means that they are made up of many cells.

Don't contain chlorophyll and chloroplasts so can not photosynthesize

Animals have a cell membrane BUT not a cell wall

They are heterotrophic feeders: They eat other animals and plants because they can't produce own food.

2)Plant-

Also Multicellular organisms

Have  chloroplasts so can carry out photosynthesis.

Plants have a cell wall AND a cell membrane

3) Fungi-

They are mostly Multicellular organisms

Are Saprophitic feeders- They feed on dead or decaying matter

That doesn't have chloroplasts

Have a cell wall

4)Protoctist-

Are Unicellular organisms,  meaning that they are made of one cell

They have a nucleus

5)Prokaryotes

Are also unicellular

Don't have a nucleus
