    The Five Kingdom Classification of Living Organisms
    Monera
    • Bacterias are the sole members of this kingdom.
    • These organisms do not have a defined nucleus or
    organelles.
    • They are ubiquitoes.
    • Do not show multi-cellular body designs.
    • Some of them have cell walls while some do not.
    • The mode of nutrition of organisms in this group can be
    either by synthesising their own food (autotrophic) or
    getting it from the environment (heterotrophic).
    • This group includes bacteria, blue-green algae or
    cyanobacteria, and mycoplasma.
    Protista
    • This group includes many kinds of
    unicellular eukaryotic organisms.
    • Mostly aquatic.
    • Considered as ancestors of
    multicellular eukaryotes.
    • Some of these organisms use
    appendages, such as hair-like cilia or
    whip-like flagella for moving around.
    • Their mode of nutrition can be
    autotrophic or heterotrophic.
    • Causes diseases like Malaria,
    Dysentry, Sleeping sickness, etc.
    • Examples are unicellular algae,
    diatoms and protozoans.
    Fungi
    • These are heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms.
    • Mostly terrestrial, but can be aquatic too.
    • They use decaying organic material as food and are
    therefore called saprophytes.
    • Show no locomotion.
    • Many of them have the capacity to become multicellular
    organisms at certain stages in their lives.
    • They have cell-walls made of a tough complex sugar called
    chitin.
    • Examples are yeast and mushrooms.
    Fungi

    Symbiotic Relationship
    Plantae
    • These are multicellular except for some primitive relatives
    of algae.
    • They are eukaryotes.
    • They have cell wall made of cellulose.
    • They are autotrophs and use chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
    • All plants are included in this group.
    • Growth is generally non-uniform and indefinite due to
    presence of growing points.
