Types of kingdom |
|
Answer» In 1859s Robert Whittaker gave 5 kingdoms namely:-• Monera.• Protista.• Fungi.• Plantae.• Animalia. Kingdoms are divided into subgroups at various levels. The following flowchart shows the hierarchy of classification.Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family\xa0→ Genus → SpeciesKingdom 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.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.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.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. This kingdom includes all plants.Kingdom Animalia: This Kingdom includes organisms that are Multicellular, Eukaryotic, without the presence of cell wall. They have a heterotrophic mode of nutrition.\xa0 |
