5 kindom classification in detail
Answers
Monera
✒️It is Prokaryotic that is, without a well defined Nucleus
✒️It is Unicellular
✒️Cell wall may or may not be present
✒️Mode of nutrition is either autotrophic, or heterotrophic
✒️For eg:-
➡️ Bacteria
➡️Blue-green algae ( Cyano Bacteria)
➡️ Mycoplasma
\huge\bold\pink{Protista}Protista
✒️It is Eukaryotic (with a well defined Nucleus)
✒️It is Unicellular
✒️Cell wall may or may not be present
✒️Mode of nutrition either autotrophic or heterotrophic
✒️These organisms use hair, like cilia for movement
✒️For eg:-
➡️Algae
➡️ Protozoa
➡️ Amoeba
➡️ Paramecium
➡️ Euglena
\huge\bold\blue{Plantae}Plantae
✒️It is Eukaryotic ( with a well defined Nucleus)
✒️It is Multicellular
✒️Cell wall present and made up of cellulose
✒️They are autotrophes that is they can prepare their own food
✒️For eg:-
➡️All green plants
\huge\bold\green{Animalia}Animalia
✒️It is Eukaryotic (with a well defined Nucleus)
✒️It is Multicellular
✒️The cell wall is absent
✒️ It has Heterotrophic mode of nutrition, that is cannot prepare it's own food
✒️For eg:-
➡️Sycon
➡️Hydra
➡️ Tapeworm
\huge\bold\purple{Fungi}Fungi
✒️It is Eukaryotic (with a well defined nucleus)
✒️It is Unicellular, but becomes Multicellular at some stages of life
✒️Cell wall present but is made up of a tough complex sugar chitin
✒️Mode of nutrition is heterotrophic ( saprophytic)
Saprophytic:-
Organisms, which depend upon dead and decaying organic matter for their source of food and nutrition
✒️ For eg:-
➡️Yeast
➡️ Mushroom
➡️ Penicillium
The five kingdom classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker in 1969.
The five kingdoms were formed on the basis of characteristics such as cell structure, mode of nutrition, source of nutrition and body organisation.
It includes Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae, and Kingdom Animalia.
Kingdom Monera:
It includes prokaryotic cells lacking organized nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles.
Some of the Monerans are autotrophic andsome of them are heterotrophic forms.
Kingdom Protista:
It includes algae, diatoms and protozoans.
These are unicellular and the simplest form of eukaryotes exhibiting both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
Kingdom Fungi:
These are multicellular, eukaryotic saprophytes.
They include mushrooms, rhizopus and mucor.
Some fungi are symbiotic forming an association with algal cells.
These symbionts are termed to be lichens.
Kingdom Plantae:
It includes all the plants that are
non-motile,multicellular and eukaryotic organisms with their cell walls made up of cellulose.
Kingdom Animalia:
It includes all the animals that are motile multicellular, eukaryotic organisms with their cells possessing no cell walls.
It exhibits species diversity.
