  3. Protista: The Protista kingdom is a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that don't fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms. This includes amoeba, paramecium, and algae.
  4. Animalia: This kingdom comprises multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic and typically capable of locomotion. Animals range from simple invertebrates to complex vertebrates.
