Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six
kingdoms.

Classification of organisms is done while considering many factors such as:

Cell type- whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic

Cell structure- This includes both the presence and composition of the cell wall

Body type- whether the organism is multicellular or unicellular

Mode of nutrition- the method through which the organism achieves its nutritional requirement, by consuming other organisms (heterotroph) or making its own food (autotroph)

Explanation:

cell type – prokaryotic or eukaryotic

cell structure – cell wall

nutrition – autotrophic or heterotrophic

body type – unicellular or multicellula
