So what is your favorite biological Kingdom

To Prevent confusion I will try to define the Kingdoms

Monera-All prokaryotes(No organelles, no Nucleus among other things)

Protists-All Eukaryotes that do not fit into other categories

fungi-Multicellular Eukaryotes that are heterotrophic via absorbtion(parasitic/saprophytic)

Plants- Multicellular eukaryotes that are autotrophic

Animals - Multicellular Eukaryotes that are Heterotrophic via ingestion

My personal favorite is Monera mainly due to the fact that they can pick up DNA from dead Monerans

Animalia, mostly because the other ones aren't as warm and cuddly.
Animals taste better.
And Animals reproduce sexually(Most of the time).

Animals because I am one. And mammals specifically, because they have breasts. Ah, how I love breasts. :)

In all seriousness, I like the furry and fuzzy ones best because they make the best pets.

That was awful and I am ashamed.
Animals I guess.
That made me laugh. I guess I should be even more ashamed.
Oh, and animals.

Some plants can be just as complicated as animals, but in different ways.

Animals are cool and definitely in my top three, but I'm currently studying plant biology and plants have three things going for them:

You can grow an entire plant from any one cell taken from another plant,

No plants, no atmospheric oxygen

and

Photosystem II (Oddly enough, the first part of photosynthesis) in plants is one of the only known biological system that can break water apart into two hydrogen ions and one oxide ion.

I think that is pretty cool

you like furry and fuzzy...breasts best, because they make for good pets? That's just not cool :p .


I like animals most, but not for the above reason ( or anything similar to it ).

You haven't lived until you've cuddled a cute, fuzzy baby breast in your arms. :) Just don't let it milk on your face. XD

Silly, I meant cute fuzzy *mammals* make the best pets.

*slap* It's Plantae and Animalia! Jeez! :p

Nit picking aside, I'll go with Plantae. I like Animals and Fungi and all the others, sure, but I'm just fascinated by leaves and flowers and trees and weeds and fruits and vegetables and roots and stems and seeds so much more. I just like planting things and watching them grow.

And also, plants tend to move around less when I'm trying to look at them trough a microscope, which helps.

Well... they blend don't they? You can't really have one without any of the others. So I don't *like* any more than any other.

I do find the world of insects very interesting though, so I will vote animal.
