Fifth Kingdom:
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Animalia
Have specialized sense organs that allow them to respond to their environment
Nucleus in cells
No cell walls
Ingest their food - Heterotrophs
Multicellular organisms
Examples:
Invertebrates

Vertebrates
Vertebrates
Viruses:
Not classified in a kingdom
Contain genetic material (DNA) but lack cell structures
Only carry on the life function of reproduction
They must have a host (another living organism) to be able to reproduce
This causes disease in the host
Examples:
Rabies
Rabies
Flu
