Biodiversity and the ecosystem is very important because all the kingdoms rely on each other. There is the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the monera kingdom. There are more, but I’ll be focusing on these three.
THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
There are over two million animals classified in the animal kingdom. That is a lot! The animal kingdom classifies most living creatures. It is the largest and most diverse kingdom too. Animals gain energy by eating food. Animals have many different cells which means they are multicellular. Animals can digest and have organs. They can move, chew, and react quickly to other actions. To make animals easier to study, scientists divide animals into divisions and subdivisions. This is because there are so many animals. Humans are also animals. Animals have relationships with other kingdoms too, of course. Animals need other animals to survive since some animals need to eat meat because of their adaptations. For example, a hungry lion cannot eat lettuce. Monera is bacteria that can help animals digest their food but can also cause diseases and illnesses to humans like pneumonia, strep throat, scarlet fever, tooth decay and more viruses. Also, bees pollinate which is very important because if they didn't, all plants would die. Once all plants die, our air will become harmful because plants get rid of toxins in the air and carbon monoxide. Those are a few relationships.
THE PLANT KINGDOM
Plants are very important as well! After all, most living things depend on plants. There are over 260,00 different species at the moment of plants. Plants are classified by their size, stature, how they reproduce, and if they circulate fluids. A plant is a living organism exemplified by an object that absorbs water, has roots, uses nutrients and performs photosynthesis. A food chain usually starts with a plant. Plants are used in cigarettes (Tobacco) and other poisonous things. Plants are consumers. They are multicellular. There are some plant relationships as well. Some plants like the Venus Fly trap can eat animals (Bugs) and the decaying bug gives it nutrients. Venus Fly traps do need to photosynthesis however. Animals also kill plants when animals eat plants and when humans destroy plants for greedy purposes like building furniture. And of course, plants keep our air clean so if the world had no plants, most living things would die. Some animals can live without oxygen but they don’t affect our society a lot.
THE MONERA KINGDOM
Monera is a kingdom of organisms with one cell. Monera is NOT multicellular. They are basic cells missing the nucleus and membrane. They are the oldest organisms at the moment. They are all prokaryotes which means they have no nucleus or membrane. They can live in absolutely any conditions no matter how harsh. Monera has a very firm cell wall. They reproduce by splitting in half. They have a tail that follows behind them called a flagella. They use their flagella to move. Some people believe that monera is the ancestor of all other life. Monera requires carbon, energy, sulphur, nitrogen, phosphorus and micronutrients. As for relationships, monera can help us digest and break down our food. Also, monera produces Vitamin K in our intestines. Also, monera is used to make antibiotics which help us a lot for when we get sick. So it can cure diseases and cause them.
