SUMMARY
- All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest parts that make up
a living thing. Cells are also living things.
- Cells can only be seen through a microscope. They have three main parts: the
membrane, the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
- Unicellular living things are formed by a single cell. Multicellular living things
are formed by many cells.
- There are different levels of organization: cells, tissues, organs, systems and
organisms.
- Living things are classified into five kingdoms: the animal kingdom, the plant
kingdom, the fungi kingdom, the monera kingdom and the protists kingdom.
- Plants are classified into two groups: flowering and non-flowering. Flowering
plants have flowers and seeds. Non-flowering plants do not have flowers or
seeds. They reproduce with spores.
- Non-flowering plants are classified into gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- Flowering plants are classified into mosses and ferns.
- Plants produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They
need water, mineral salts, carbon dioxide and sunlight to do this. Plants release
oxygen during photosynthesis.
