what are the feotares of kingdom, monera
Answers
Answer:
The Monerans are unicellular organisms.
They contain 70S ribosomes.
The DNA is naked and is not bound by a nuclear membrane.
It lacks organelles like mitochondria, lysosomes, plastids, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, centrosome, etc.
They reproduce asexually by binary fission or budding.
The cell wall is rigid and made up of peptidoglycan.
Flagellum serves as the locomotory organ.
These are environmental decomposers
They show different modes of nutrition such as autotrophic, parasitic, heterotrophic, or saprophytic.
Features of Kingdom Monera:
- Monerans are present in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
- Some have rigid cell walls, while some do not.
Explanation:
Monerans are present in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
Some have rigid cell walls, while some do not.
The membrane-bound nucleus is absent in monerans.
Habitat – Monerans are found everywhere in hot or thermal springs, in the deep ocean floor, under ice, in deserts, and also inside the body of plants and animals.
They can be autotrophic, i.e., they can synthesize food on their own while some others have heterotrophic, saprophytic, parasitic, symbiotic, commensalism, and mutualistic modes of nutrition.
Locomotion is with the help of flagella.
Circulation is through diffusion.
Respiration in these organisms vary, few are obligate aerobes, while some are obligate anaerobes and facultative anaerobes
Reproduction is mostly asexual and few also reproduce by sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is by conjugation, transformation, and transduction. Asexual reproduction is by binary fission.
