write five characteristics each of all the kingdoms under five kingdom classification
Answers
Answer:
The living organisms are divided into five different kingdoms – Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, and Monera on the basis of their characteristics such as cell structure, mode of nutrition, mode of reproduction and body organization
Answer:
According to this system, there are five main kingdoms. They are:
Kingdom Monera
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Plantae
1.Kingdom Monera
These organisms are prokaryotic and unicellular. They do not have a well-defined nucleus and also lack cell organelles. Some organisms show the presence of cell wall while there are others without a cell wall.Examples include Bacteria, Cyanobacteria, and Mycoplasma.
2.Kingdom Protista
Organisms grouped under Kingdom Protista are all unicellular, but eukaryotic organisms. These are the simplest forms of eukaryotes that exhibit either autotrophic or heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Some organisms have appendages such as cilia or flagella or pseudopodia to move around. Some examples are Diatoms, Protozoans like Amoeba, Paramoecium
3. Kingdom Fungi
Heterotrophic, Multicellular and Eukaryotic organisms are grouped under Kingdom Fungi. Their mode of nutrition is saprophytic as they use decaying organic matter as food. They have cell walls, which are made up of a substance called Chitin. Fungi also form a symbiotic association with some blue-green algae. Yeast, Mushroom, Aspergillus are examples of Fungi.
4. Kingdom Animalia
This Kingdom includes organisms that are Multicellular, Eukaryotic, without the presence of cell wall. They have a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. They also exhibit great diversity.Examples – Hydra, Starfish, Earthworms, Monkeys, Birds etc.
5.Kingdom Plantae
These are Eukaryotic, Multicellular organisms with a cell wall that is made up of cellulose. They are autotrophs and synthesize their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Examples are Spirogyra, Ferns, Pines, and Mango Plant etc.
