Answer:
use Whittaker method to classify bacteria, protozoa, fungi, algae, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes.
R.H. Whittaker introduced the famhous five- kingdom classification system which is the most followed classification system in modern time. ...

Answer:
According to Robert Harding Whittaker, given below are the characteristic features of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, algae, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes:
1. Kingdom Monera
- As all the organisms are unicellular, there is absence of multicellular body designs.
- They may have either an autotrophic or heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
- These are prokaryotic cells without well-defined nucleus or cell organelles.
- All types of blue green algae and bacteria are included in this kingdom.
2. Kingdom Protista
- These are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms with a well-defined nucleus enclosed in a nuclear membrane.
- These organisms can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
- They have whip-like flagella or pseudopodia or hair-like cilia which helps in locomotion.
3. Kingdom Fungi
- They may be unicellular or multicellular, non-green, heterotrophic and eukaryotic organisms.
- Most of them are saprotrophs and they feed on dead organic matter.
- Some fungi are thread-like and most of the nuclei are present in the cytoplasm.
- Their cell walls are made up of complex and tough sugar called ‘Chitin’.
- Examples- Mushrooms, Baker’s yeast, Penicillium, Aspergillus (Fungus on corn).
4. Kingdom Plantae
- They are mainly multicellular and eukaryotic organisms.
- They are of non-motile nature.
- The plant cells mostly contain chlorophyll pigments and they are an autotrophic mode of nutrition.
- Their cell wall is composed of cellulose and not ‘Chitin’ like that of fungi.
5. Kingdom Animalia
- These organisms are multicellular eukaryotes.
- Absence of cell walls in these organisms.
- Absence of chloroplast in animal cells. They mostly have a heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
