Bacteria
What are Bacteria?
Bacteria are single celled microbes that are very hard to see with the naked eye. The cell structure is m much simpler than other organism for that it has no nucleus or membrane. Bacteria are also known for being the smallest life organisms around. There are 2 types of bacteria. 1 is Archbacteria. 2. Eubacteria.
Protists
Protists are organisms in the kingdom Protista. The organisms are eukaryotes which means they are made up of single or multiple cells which all contain a nucleus and a membrane. protists are a cool group of eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. Organisms in the Protista kingdom include amoebae, euglena and slime molds.
Protist move throuout the slime molds and other things and reproduce with bacteria and fungi.
Three types of fungus like protists cellular slime molds acellular slime molds Water molds
Fungi
Fungi are a group of organisms that were once considered a part of the plant kingdom. Now some scientists think that fungi are neither plants or animals. They grow on logs of wood and dead plants. They have no flowers, stem, root and they cannot make their own food. They feed on dead plants and animals and decompose them. Moulds, mushrooms and yeast are all fungi!
Fungi have spores that can grow like seeds into new plants. If you see a mold growing on bread under a microscope you will find that each stalk has a swollen head. This is called the spore bag which bursts open when spores are ripe in wich they scatter them. They are caused by wind, animals, etc., and give rise to new fungi. In mushrooms, the spores are located under the cap.
Humans use fungi as food for
