Worksheet: The Classification of Living Things

#### Section 1: Complete the Text Using the Words Below
The options provided are:
DIVIDING – BY PRODUCING SPORES – MULTICELLULAR – UNICELLULAR – SPORES

---

#### a) Monera
Monera are UNICELLULAR organisms. They reproduce by DIVIDING.

- Explanation: Monera (or Bacteria) are single-celled organisms that reproduce through binary fission, which is a form of cell division.

---

#### b) Most fungi
Most fungi are MULTICELLULAR, but some are UNICELLULAR. They reproduce by producing SPORES.

- Explanation: Fungi can be either multicellular or unicellular. Multicellular fungi include mushrooms and molds, while unicellular fungi include yeasts. Fungi reproduce primarily by producing spores.

---

#### c) Protists
Protists can be UNICELLULAR or MULTICELLULAR. They reproduce in two ways; some DIVIDE, but others BY PRODUCING SPORES.

- Explanation: Protists are diverse organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular. Some protists reproduce through cell division (e.g., amoebas), while others reproduce by producing spores (e.g., certain algae).

Section 2: Write the Name of the Kingdom in Each Picture

The options provided are: FUNGI, MONERA, PROTOCTISTA

---

#### Image 1: Yeast (Royal Canister)
- Kingdom: MONERA
- Explanation: Yeast is a type of unicellular fungus, but it is often classified under Monera in older classification systems. However, in modern taxonomy, yeast belongs to the kingdom Fungi.

#### Image 2: Bacterial Cell
- Kingdom: MONERA
- Explanation: This image shows a typical bacterial cell, which belongs to the kingdom Monera (or Bacteria).

#### Image 3: Mushrooms
- Kingdom: FUNGI
- Explanation: Mushrooms are multicellular fungi.

#### Image 4: Mold on Bread
- Kingdom: FUNGI
- Explanation: Mold growing on bread is a type of fungus.

#### Image 5: Algae
- Kingdom: PROTOCTISTA
- Explanation: Algae are photosynthetic protists.

#### Image 6: Viruses
- Kingdom: None
- Explanation: Viruses are not classified into any kingdom because they are not considered living organisms in the traditional sense. However, if we must choose from the given options, none apply.
