Name of kingdoms, Key features of these organisms, Example 1, Example 2. 2) Describe the main characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Understand the Problem
The image contains two biology questions. The first question asks to complete a table showing how organisms are classified into five kingdoms, including their key features and two examples for each kingdom. The second question asks to describe the main characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Answer
The five kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Vertebrates have a backbone, while invertebrates do not.

More Information
The five-kingdom classification was proposed by Robert Whittaker in 1969. It is based on cell structure, mode of nutrition, and body organization.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
