Question

Write the classification of plants animals and the five kingdom classification and also write the important character of each group mentioning as to why the organism is placed in that group in the classification​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species

Answer 2

Answer:

A) The plants and animals are classified into seven categories. From the highest to the lowest taxonomic rank, they are:

1. Kingdom

2. Phylum

3. Class

4. Order

5. Family

6. Genus

7. Species

This classification is suggested by Carolus/Carl Linnaeus, the Father of Modern Taxonomy, .

B) The five-kingdom classification of living beings is as follows.

1. Monera

2. Protista

3. Fungi

4. Plantae

5. Animalia

Explanation:

The five-kingdom classification was proposed by Robert. H. Whittaker In 1969. This is chiefly based on cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition, mode of reproduction, evolutionary changes, etc.

1. Monera - Prokaryotic, Unicellular, Autotrophic/Heterotrophic (eg. bacteria)

2. Protista - Eukaryotic, Unicellular, Autotrophic/Heterotrophic (eg. protozoa)

3. Fungi - Eukaryotic, Multicellular with cell wall, but do not perform photosynthesis, Heterotrophic (eg. fungus)

4. Plantae - Eukaryotic, Multicellular with cell wall, and able to perform photosynthesis, Autotrophic (eg. plants)

5. Animalia - Eukaryotic, Multicellular without cell wall, Heterotrophic (eg. man, animals)

Note: However, Viruses, Viroids and Lichens are not included in any of the above because of their unique characteristics.

a) Viruses -No definite cell structure, but has a protein coat.

b) Viroids - Smaller than viruses, but without a protein coat

c) Lichens - A symbiotic (mutually beneficial) association between algae and fungi.
