    • Robert Whittaker introduced the five kingdoms classification system.

    Characteristics of Kingdoms

    • The Animalia kingdom is composed of eukaryotic, multicellular organisms that have no cell walls.
    • The characteristic feature of the Fungi kingdom is the presence of heterotrophic, decomposers, and absorptive mode of nutrition.
    • The Prokaryota kingdom is characterized by the presence of prokaryotic cells, which lack a true nucleus.
    • The kingdom that is mainly based on differences in morphology and physiology is Protista.
