● they are multicellular
● their cells contain a nucleus, so they are eukaryotic
● they feed on other living things

Main features of all plants:
● they are multicellular
● their cells contain a nucleus, so they are eukaryotic
● they all feed by photosynthesis (make their own food)

Main features of all fungi (e.g. moulds, mushrooms, yeast)
usually multicellular
their cells contain a nucleus, so they are eukaryotic
do not photosynthesize
feed by saprophytic (on dead or decaying material) or parasitic (on live
material) nutrition

Main features of all Protoctists (e.g. Amoeba, Paramecium,
Plasmodium)
most are unicellular but some are multicellular
all have a nucleus, so they are eukaryotic
some are photosynthesise (make their own food)
some feed on other living things

Main features of all Prokaryotes (bacteria, blue-green
algae)
● often unicellular
● cells have no nucleus, so they are prokaryotic
