This document summarizes key characteristics of different types of living things: animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. It notes that animals do not produce their own food and feed on other organisms, can move, and reproduce either by laying eggs or giving birth to live young. Plants produce their own food, cannot move from place to place, and are born from seeds or spores. Fungi do not produce their own food and feed on decomposing organisms, cannot move, and are more similar to animals than plants. Bacteria are very small organisms that can only be seen with a microscope.
