Answers
Answer:
rh Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification monera protista fungi plantae and animilia
Explanation:
all prokaryotes are include in monera ie. bacteria ,fungi have seprate kingdom , unicellular eukaryotic organisms are include in protista.
Answer:
The characteristic features of each of the five kingdoms classified by Whittaker are:
Kingdom Monera
Absence of a well-defined nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Absence of multicellular body designs; all are unicellular
Presence or absence of a cell wall
Autotrophic or heterotrophic mode of nutrition
Kingdom Protista
They are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms.
They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.
Some members have cilia or flagella, which helps in locomotion.
Kingdom Fungi
They may be unicellular or multicellular, eukaryotic organisms.
Their body consists of mycelium, which is made up of multicellular filamentous hyphae.
Their cell walls are made up of tough, complex sugar called chitin.
They are saprophytes, which feed on dead organic material.
Kingdom Plantae
They are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms.
Cell wall is made up of cellulose and not chitin unlike that of fungi.
Most plant cells contain chlorophyll pigments. Hence, they are autotrophic.
They are non-motile.
Kingdom Animalia
They are multicellular eukaryotes.
Cell wall is absent in them.
Chloroplast is absent in animal cells. Hence, they have a heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
