The largest of category eukaryotes is the animal kingdom. Animals are made up of complex cells, have tissue and organ systems and use sexual reproduction. More than 1 million species fall into this biological kingdom, including birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, worms, mollusks, jellyfish and sponges.
