Wich living organisms are included in the kingdom Monera ?
Answers
Explanation:
The five kingdom classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker in 1969. The five kingdoms were formed on the basis of characteristics such as cell structure, mode of nutrition, source of nutrition and body organisation. It includes Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae, and Kingdom Animalia.
Kingdom Monera:
It includes bacteria and cyanobacteria.
It includes prokaryotic cells lacking organized nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles.
It includes organisms which exhibit autotrophic nutrition and also organisms which are heterotrophic forms.
It includes organisms which mostly reproduce by asexual mode.
It includes organisms which are almost small.
Kingdom Protista:
It includes algae, diatoms and protozoans.
These are unicellular and the simplest form of eukaryotes with nucleus bound by a nuclear membrane.
These exhibit both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
These are slightly large when compared to Monerans.
Cell organelles in Protists are complex in their functions.
Reproduction in Protists can be by asexual or sexual modes.
