Characteristics of Living Organisms Delfina Miy Uranga, Rocio Hartmann & Luz Garcia Fernandez 

   Number of Cells  Cell Structure  Nutrition 

Animals  Multicellular  Nucleus, no cell walls or chloroplasts  Organic substance made by other living organisms 

Plants  Multicellular  Nucleus, cell walls (made of cellulose), oftenly chloroplasts 

Photosynthesis 

Fungi  Usually multicellular  Nuclei, cell walls (not made of cellulose), no chlorophyll 

Saprophytic or parasitic nutrition 

Protoctista   Multicellular or unicellular  Nucleus, may or may not have cell wall and chloroplasts 

Some by photosynthesis, others organic substances made by other organisms 

Prokaryotes  Often unicellular  No nucleus, cell walls (not made of cellulose), no mitochondria 

Some by photosynthesis
