Robert H. Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom classification system in 1969 that divides all organisms into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The system places organisms into kingdoms based on characteristics like cellular structure, nutrition, and locomotion. Monera contains unicellular prokaryotes like bacteria. Protista comprises unicellular and simple multicellular eukaryotes such as amoebas. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms including fungi. Plantae consists of autotrophic, multicellular, photosynthetic plants. Animalia are heterotrophic, multicellular, motile organisms like animals and birds.
4. Five kingdom classification
• Robert.H whittaker is an
American taxonamist
• In 1969 he proposed a five-kingdom
classification
• Five-kingdom classification
include all organism
5. Living world
Monera Protista fungi plantae animalia
Eg;- Bacteria Eg;- Amoeba Eg;- Fungus Eg;- plants Eg;- animals
• Robert.H whittakker classified all organism in to five groups
• Monera ,Protista ,fungi ,plantae ,animalia
6. Monera
• Unicellular organism without definite nucleus
• Prokaryotes
• They are microscopic organism
Eg; - bacteria
7. Protista
• Unicellular organism with definite nucleus and
simple multicellular organism
• Aquatic eukaryotic organism
Eg; Amoeba
8. fungi
• Heterotrophic unicellular/ multicellular organism
• Do not have power of locomotion
• Most of them multicellular
Eg ; Fungus
9. plantae
• Autotrophic
• multicellular
• Photosynthetic plants
• They are immobile
Eg ; plants
10. animalia
• Hetrotrophic multicellular organism
• They are holozoic and mobile
• eukaryotes
Eg : Animals,birds
