Eukaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane has nucleus, many membrane-enclosed compartments division takes place within nucleus for cell maintenance, repair and production. Kingdom plantae - green, photosynthesize, produce o2, absorb co2, autotrophic - make own food, sessile - can learn, but don"t move (e. g. , algae, animals, protists) Kingdom animalia - have important role in ecosystem mobile - have to consume other organisms for food (plants, animals that have eaten plants, etc. ) Herbivores only eat plants, omnivores eat both plants and meat, carnivores only eat meat.
