Question

describe five characters of monera and protista

Answer 1

Kingdom Monera

Kingdom Monera comprises of unicellular organisms with a prokaryotic cell organization.

They lack well-defined cell structures including the nucleus and other cell organelles.

Cyanobacteria, bacteria, and mycoplasma are few members of this kingdom.

The general characteristic features of Monerans are:  some have cell walls while some do not, they have an autotrophic mode of nutrition i.e., they can synthesize food on their own while some other have a heterotrophic mode of nutrition.

PROTISTA :All single celled organisms are placed under the Kingdom Protista. The term Protista was first used by Ernst Haeckel in the year 1886. This kingdom forms a link between other kingdoms of plants, animals and fungi. Protists represent an important step in early evolution. The first protists evolved probably 1.7 billion years ago. Members of Protista are primarily aquatic in nature. It is a very large group comprising of at least 16 phyla. Many protists like algae are the primary producers in the aquatic ecosystem, some protists are responsible for serious human diseases like malaria and sleeping sickness
