  4. I never really understood the whole things about the kingdoms. they always confused me so it'd be really nice to learn more about it. I clicked the link and the info was REALLY helpful. I really did walk away with some new information in my head.
    Well, you would find bacteria in the Moneran Kingdom, which have unicellular organisms(and no nucleus.) Bacteria is one of the oldest life on earth, which bacteria perfectly, though it's hard to explain more about it.
    Mushrooms belong to the fungi kingdom because unlike plants, mushrooms can not make their own food. For a while mushrooms were believed to be plants, but they're not. Hope that explains Leslie's statement (sorry it's so long)

  9. Did anyone else listen to the 5 kingdom's song?
    I liked it, though they need to work on the rhyming...
    "a horse is a horse and a snake is a snake, a fish is a fish and a bee is a bee. They are different, but they are all a-ni-mals!"

  12. Wow, this information helped a lot. Before I never knew much about the 5 kingdoms. I didn't even know what monera was, nor that it was part of the 5 kingdoms.

  25. I don't agree with all of the things the category's were in. I think mushrooms are also hard to tell which category they go in.
