Diversity of Life Portfolio

Diversity of Life Portfolio

For each Kingdom of Life, and any subgroups listed describe the major features that define this group and make it distinct from the others. Be sure to include the common names of organisms. You will have to research to get your information. Use a table of contents to organize your information and be sure to keep a bibliography of your resources, including any websites used. You need to include labeled images-these can be from labs, the internet, digital pictures or drawings. Think of this as a scrapbook page for each major group with the classification, key information and labeled images. See the sample from the Kingdom Fungi as a reference.
