Classify of whittake method of protozoa
Answers
Answer:
How are protozoans classified?
All protozoal species are assigned to the kingdom Protista in the Whittaker classification. The protozoa are then placed into various groups primarily on the basis of how they move. The groups are called phyla (singular, phylum) by some microbiologists, and classes by others.
The criteria used by R. H. Whittaker for the five kingdom classification were cell structure, thallus organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships.
R. H. Whittaker categorized organisms in the following five kingdoms:
Kingdom Monera: Archaea and bacteria, all prokaryotic microbes
Kingdom Protista: Eukaryotic microbes and protozoa
Kingdom Fungi (Mycota): Fungi
Kingdom Plantae: Algae, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms
Kingdom Animalia: Animals
