Question

Describe the whittaker sclassification of living organisms

Answer 1

Answer:

R.H.whittaker classified organism on the basis of nutrition

Explanation:

Whittaker proposed an elaborate five kingdom classification – Monera, , Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.

Monera:-

Monera is a kingdom that contains unicellular organisms with a prokaryotic cell organization, such as bacteria. They are single-celled organisms with no true nuclear membrane

Protista:-

Protists are simple eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, plants nor fungi. Protists are unicellular in nature, or they can be found as a colony of cells. Most protists live in water, damp, terrestrial environments, or even as parasites.

Fungi:-

A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, fungi, which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals.

Plantae:-

Plantae is the plant kingdom which contains all plants on the earth. They are multicellular eukaryotes. Characteristically, they contain a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane known as the cell wall. Plants also have a green colored pigment known as chlorophyll that is quite vital for photosynthesis.

Animilia:-

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development.
