Question

what are salient features of Monera?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Monerans are unicellular organisms. The cell wall is rigid and made up of peptidoglycan. Asexual Reproduction through binary fission. They contain 70S ribosomes.

$\sf \orange {\underline{\underline{☛Description:}}}$

➻$\bf \green {Bacteria}$ are the 'sole members' of the kingdom Monera.

➻All prokaryotes like,

$\sf \red{❍Archaebacteria}$

$\sf \red {❍Eubacteria}$

$\sf \red{❍Mycoplasma}$

$\sf \red {❍Actinomycetes}$ ,etc were included in kingdom Monera.

$\sf \purple {\underline{\underline{☛Salient\: features:}}}$

➳Bacteria occur almost everywhere and they are the most abundant micro-organisms.

➳They can survive in extreme habitats like hot springs,deserts,snow and deep oceans,etc due to the presence of branched chain lipids in their cell membrane and pseudomurein in their cell wall.

➳Bacteria as a group show the most extensive metabolic diversity compared to many other organisms.

➳Many of them live in or on other organisms as parasites.However,vast majority are heterotrophs and some of then are autotrophic in nature.

➳The genetic material is basically naked i.e,not enveloped by nuclear membrane.

➳Since they are prokaryotes,there are no cell organelles found expect ribosomes.

➳The infoldings of the cell membrane are called $\bf \green {'mesosomes'}$,which play an important role in aerobic respiration and DNA replication.
