    Study Notes

    Kingdom Characteristics

    • Kingdom characterized by being prokaryotic and having a cell wall made of noncellulosic polysaccharide and amino acid is Monera.
    • Kingdom characterized by being eukaryotic and having a cell wall made of cellulose is Plantae.
    • Kingdom characterized by being eukaryotic and having a cell wall made of chitin is Fungi.
    • Kingdom characterized by being eukaryotic and having a nuclear membrane is Protista.
    • Kingdom characterized by being multicellular and having loose tissue is Animalia.

    Classification Systems

    • The scientist who proposed the Five Kingdom Classification is Whittaker.
    • Whittaker's criteria for classification include cell structure, cell wall composition, mode of nutrition, and body organization.
    • In the three-domain system, the kingdom Monera was divided into two domains: Archaea and Bacteria.
    • The classification system that included bacteria, blue green algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms under 'Plants' is the old Two Kingdom Classification system.
