Question

Name the kingdoms of five kingdom classification ?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2

Answer :

Five Kingdom Classification -

• It was proposed by RH whittaker in 1969.
• It includes kingdoms : Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
• This classification is done on the basis of cell structure, thallus organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships.

Monera -

• The cell type of this Kingdom is prokaryotic.
• The cell wall is present in the organisms in this Kingdom.
• The cell wall is non cellulosic and is made up of polysaccharide and amino acids.
• The nuclear membrane is absent.
• The organisms in this Kingdom are unicellular.
• Bacterias are the sole members of this Kingdom.
• The organisms in this Kingdom are either photosynthetic autotrophic, chemosynthetic autotrophic, saprophytic heterotrophic or parasitic heterotrophic.

Protista -

• The cell type of the organisms in this Kingdom is eukaryotic.
• The cell wall is present in some of the organisms.
• The nuclear membrane is present.
• The organisms present in this Kingdom are unicellular.
• They are photosynthetic autotrophic or heterotrophic.

Fungi -

• The organisms present in this Kingdom are eukaryotic.
• The cell wall is present but it lacks cellulose.
• The nuclear membrane is present.
• They are multicellular.
• They are either saprophytic heterotrophic or parasitic heterotrophic.

Plantae -

• The organisns present in this Kingdom have eukaryotic cell.
• Cell wall is present and is made up of cellulose.
• The nuclear membrane is also present.
• Body organisation includes tissues and organs.
• They are photosynthetic autotrophic.

Animalia -

• They have eukaryotic cell type.
• The cell wall in the organisms in this Kingdom is absent.
• The nuclear membrane is present.
• The body organisation includes cells, tissues, organs and organ system.
• They are heterotrophic.
