How Scientists group living Things?Classification of Living Thing
Five Kingdom Characteristics Examples
Animals Many-celled, feed on other living things
Mouse, dogs, fish, frogs
Plants Many-celled, make their own food
Trees, flowers, grass
Fungi Most many celled, absorb food from other living or dead things
Mushrooms,molds
Protista one cell, make their own food or feed on other ling things
Algae, amoebas
Monerans no cell nuclei, make their own food or feed
• Two main types of leaves1. Needle leaves are thin pointed, and very tough.
2. Broad leaves, are wider and expose more surface to the sun.
(1) (2)
The tubes which carry water are called xylem, and the ones that carry the food are called phloem.
• Main parts of a leaf3. Central stalk called the “petiole”. 4. Lamina is the blade of a leaf.5. Veins carry the water and food.6. Tiny holes microscopic in size,
called “stomates”.
7. Midrib is the central rib of a leaf. (3 to 7)

I. Anatomy of a flower– Anther - tip of a flower's stamen
– Stamen - male reproductive organ, contains the pollen.
– Filament - holds the anther and part of the stamen.
– Ovary - is a female reproductive organ, base of the pistil.
– Petal - leafy structures that comprise a flower.
– Sepal - small leaves located directly under a flower.
– Stem - supports the plant.– Stigma - uppermost part of the
pistil, receives the male pollen.
Flowering plants have a characteristics that all other kinds of plants do not have: A flower as part of the plant where seeds are made.
(I)
– Pistil - female reproductive tissue of a flower.
– Style - is a long tube on top of the ovary, and below the stigma.

Classifying LeavesStudents should classify different leaves
according to their: LEAF SHAPES
(Commonly-employed terms.)
– Ovate-egg-shaped with the larger end at the bottom.
– Elliptic-shaped like an ellipse, tapered at both ends and with curved sides.
– Oblong-tapered to both ends, but with the sides more or less parallel.
