Answer 6

Okay.
For microorganism there are five kingdoms:
1) Viruses
2) Bacteria
3) Protozoans
4) Algae
5) Fungi
I recommend choosing Fungi. It deals with decomposers and stuff.

Answer 7

wait wha?

Answer 8

@Opcode and @Ashleyisakitty you both have completely diff answers which is right?

Answer 9

We both have proper examples of what you're looking for.

Answer 10

No. There exactly the same...
There just said differently...
There are alternative names for kingdoms.
In Malaysia I was taught those were the Kingdoms.
@Ashleyisakitty are part of the Kingdoms.
So technically we are all correct ^_^.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Fungi:
Molds/Mushrooms

Answer 13

Answer 14

Eukarya?

Answer 15

Yes they are eukaryotic organisms.

Answer 16

ok and theere kingdom?

Answer 17

@Opcode

I think your list is good.

Only that viruses aren't microorganisms.
They're not alive.

Answer 18

*what is fungi's kingdom?

Answer 19

Hmm. I was taught that they are microorganisms :O
What exactly classifies a microorganism I don't know...
But @EmmaH
Look at this branch:
http://images.tutorvista.com/content/modern-classification/five-kingdom-classification.jpeg
See what it lists under Fungi?
(Fungi itself is a kingdom)
Mold/Mushrooms are the sub-kingdoms.

Answer 20

hmm thanks:)

Answer 21

@Opcode

Well they ARE "micro,"
meaning they're very small.

But they're not organisms,
because they don't satisfy the criteria for living things.

For example,
we know that all living things are made of cells. At LEAST one cell.

Viruses aren't made of cells at all.
They're just nucleic acid, wrapped up in protein.

Answer 22

Ah, okay.
So there are only four kingdoms?
Or are there five? And am I missing one?

Answer 23

what is fungi's domain and its species?

Answer 24

Eukaryote.

Answer 25

its domain is eukaryote? and its species is eukaryote?

Answer 26

i dont think that makes sense...

Answer 27

By species I think you mean what are types fungi?
Which is mold and mushrooms...

Answer 28

1.In your poster or PowerPoint presentation, you will need to detail the classification of the group of creatures you are detailing.

Answer 29

Domain, kingdom, genus, species listed with appropriate italicization and capitalization.

Answer 30

thats what it wants me to do^

Answer 31

Well in biology, there are 5 kingdoms:

1. Monera
2. Protista
3. Fungi
4. Plantae
5. Animalia

Answer 32

Fungi are not animals or plants...
They are there own kingdom. But there domain are Eukaryote.
As for species there are a whole lot...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_fungal_species
For example:
Fungi:
Species: Psilocybin mushrooms
Genus: Psilocybe

Answer 38

@Opcode

Yes I agree, Fungi belong to their own kingdom.

I hope I wasn't vague;
I didn't mean to imply that fungi are plants or animals.

Plants and Animals each belong to their own kingdoms.

Answer 39

no you werent vague thanks for the help!

Answer 40

No it was clear, I got the point :3
