THE FIVE KINGDOMS
- Kingdom Monera
It includes prokaryotic organism they are made of prokaryotic cells. Monerans are unicellular, although some types form chains, clusters, or colonies of cells. Prokaryotic cell are radically different from eukaryotic cells. Most are heterotrophic but some perform photosynthesis because they have chlorophyll in their cytoplasm. Within this kingdom there ae two different kinds of organism i.e. bacteria and cyanobacteria. - Kingdom Protista
It includes eukaryotic unicellular and simple multicellular organisms. There are three main types of Protista
Algae are unicellular, colonial or simple multicellular. They resemble plant cells with walls and chlorophyll in chloroplasts. Simple multicellular means that they do not have multicellular sex organs and do not form embryos during their life cycles.
Protozoans resemble animals whose cells lack chlorophyll and cells walls.
Some Protista are fungi-like. - Kingdom Fungi
It includes eukaryotic multicellular heterotrophs which are absorptive in their nutritional mode e.g. mushroom. Most fungi are decomposer. They live on organic material, secrete digestive enzymes and absorb small organic molecules formed by the digestion by enzymes. - Kingdom Plantae
It includes eukaryotic multicellular autotrophs. Plants are autotrophic in nutritional mode, making their own food by photosynthesis. They have multicellular sex organs and from embryos during their life cycles. Mosses ferns and flowering plants are includes in this kingdom. - Kingdom Animalia
It includes eukaryotic multicellular consumers. Animals live mostly by ingesting food and digesting it within specialized cavities. They lack cell wall and show movements.
Biologist believe that kingdom Protista evolved from monera and then it gave rise to the other 3 eukaryotic kingdom I.e. Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
