Question

Construct a detailed pictorial tree map of the classification of all living organisms along with the characteristics of the each group of organisms.

Answer 1

Answer:

Scientists have been trying to classify living organisms in various ways for centuries. In fact, even Aristotle classified living organisms on the basis whether they lived on land, water or air. But biologists wanted a broader system of classifying living organisms. Hence came the five kingdom classification. Let us look at it in detail.

The five-kingdom classification was proposed by R. H. Whittaker in the year 1969. The kingdom Monera is comprised of unicellular prokaryotic organisms. The other four kingdoms, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are composed of all the eukaryotic organisms. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
