** __ Monera __ ** The kingdom of single-celled organisms without a nucleus. The two kinds of moneras are bacteria the cyanobacteria. A cyanobacterium is a blue, green algae. One example of bacteria in the Tropical Rainforest is called //** Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans, **// which is a bacteria in the soil. //** Prokaryote cells **// are also cells in the tropical rainforest, they are in golden corn which grows in tropical climates.



The kingdom with a nucleus and organelles, most are single-celled. //** Foraminifera **// are a large group of amoeboid protists, that are sometimes found in the tropical rainforest. An example of foraminifera in the Tropical Rainforest is called //**Globigerinoides sacculifer**// it is found in most marie in enviroments, but can also be found in the puddles in the rainforest. An other example of foraminifera in the Tropical Rainforest is called //** Globorotalia inflata **//. Globorotalia inflata is most common in transitional waters between subpolar and subtropical regions. It can live in a wide range of temperatures, but is less abundant in high-salinity conditions.

__ **Fungus** __ The fungus kingdom is multi celled, has no chlorophyll, and absorb nutrients. The kinds of fungi are threadlike, club, and Sac. Bread mold is a example of threadlike, mushrooms are a type of club, and yeast is a kind of Sac fungus. //**Zygomycota**// is a kind of fungus that grows on fruit and other foods. It has a common name of black bread mold, or //**Rhizopus stolonifera.**// It is commonly found on soft fruits and bread (bananas in the tropical rainforest). **Lichen** are a type of fungus that grows on plants, leaves, and rocks. They can be found anywhere between the Artic and Antartic regions and are commonly found in the tropics. A type os lichen in the troical rainforeest is the **Foliose** **lichen**, or the **// Platismatia glauca ,//** which grows on trees and leaves.
