This document summarizes key characteristics of plants, including that they are multicellular, have cell walls made of cellulose, and produce their own food via photosynthesis. It distinguishes between monocot and dicot flowering plants based on their leaf veins and number of cotyledons. Bacteria are introduced as prokaryotes that include pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Protoctists are described as unicellular organisms with nuclei that can have chloroplasts and perform photosynthesis or digest food as protozoa, providing Trypanosoma cruzi as an example.

1. KINGDOM PLANTS
-Multicellular
-Cell wall (cellulose)
- They make their own food by
photosynthesis

2. PHYLUM FLOWERING PLANTS
• Have roots, stems and leaves
• Have xylem and phloem
• Reproduce by producing seeds
• CLASS: - Monocotyledonous plants
- Dicotyledonous plants

3. MONOCOT AND DICOT PLANTS

4. MONOCOTYLEDONOUS
-Have strap-shaped leaves with parallel
veins.
-Have one cotyledon inside each seed

6. DICOTYLEDONOUS
-Have leaves which can be broad, and which have a
network of branching veins
- Have two cotyledons inside each seed

9. KINGDOM PROKARYOTES
(BACTERIA)

11. Bacteria
Staphylococcus aureus Mycobacterium tuberculosis

12. KINGDOM PROTOCTISTS
• Unicellulars
• Have nucleus (DNA enclosed in a nuclear
membrane)
• Some have chloroplasts (photosynthesis).
They are called protophyita.
• Others take in and digest solid food. They are
called protozoa.
