Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been clubbed together in Eubacteria of kingdom Monera as per the “Five Kingdom Classification” even though the two are vastly different from each other. Is this grouping of the two types of taxa in the same kingdom justified? If so, why?
Answers
Answer:
Nutritionally, cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria differ greatly. Cynobacteria are autotrophic, they synthesise their own food. Whereas heterotrophic bacteria depends on other organisms for food.
• But due to unicellular and prokaryotic nature of the organisms, both Cynobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria are categorised under Eubacteria of kingdom Monera.
• Hence the classification according to the cellular structure is justified.

Answer:
Hey mate here is your answer...
Explanation:
▶️ Both Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria are prokaryotes where genetic material is not organised into a nucleus, membrane bound cell organelles are absent, ribosome are 70 S and cell wall contains peptidoglycan. Nutrition is no criterion to seperate them as early organisms possessed different modes of nutrition. Therefore, the grouping of the two taxa in the same kingdom is justified.
