REVIEW OF THE FIVE KINGDOM
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Organism are grouped into 5 kingdoms according to certain common
characteristics.
digesting them.
THE TERM MICRO-ORGANISM
Structures that can be seen with the naked eye are
called macroscopic.
Structures that are only visible with the microscope are
called microscopic.
Some organisms are so tiny that they can only be
viewed under the microscope, these organisms are
called micro-organisms.
Micro-organisms occur in all five kingdoms.
There is a sixth group for organisms that cannot be
placed into any of the 5 kingdoms.
These micro-organisms are called viruses.
VIRUSES
CLASSIFICATION:
Viruses do not belong to any one of the 5 kingdoms
because they have characteristics of both living and non -
living organisms.
Viruses are considered to be living, because they undergo
reproduction when they are within cells of a living
organisms.
Viruses are non-living:
1. They can not respire.
2. They can not reproduce on their own.
3. They form crystals and can survive in this form
for many years.
