  4. The five kingdoms of organisms • The process of sorting organisms into groups according to what they look like is called classification. • Organisms may be classified into five kingdoms, according to some very basic characteristics.

  5. Activity 1:Can you link the keywords to their definitions • Unicellular • Multicellular • Autotroph • Heterotroph • saprophytic These organisms eat and digest organisms externally These organisms make their own food via photosynthesis Made of a single cell These organisms eat and digest other organisms Made of many cells
