5 kingdoms of life?

Question

what are the 5 kingdoms of life and 2 examples for each kingdom

Answer 1

Prokaryotic Cells Without Nuclei And Membrane-Bound Organelles:

1. Kingdom Monera [10,000 species]: Unicellular and colonial--including the true bacteria (eubacteria) and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).

ex: E. coli, Shigella

Eukaryotic Cells With Nuclei And Membrane-Bound Organelles:

2. Kingdom Protista (Protoctista) [250,000 species]: Unicellular protozoans and unicellular & multicellular (macroscopic) algae with 9 + 2 cilia and flagella (called undulipodia).

ex: Euglena, Amoeba

3. Kingdom Fungi [100,000 species]: Haploid and dikaryotic (binucleate) cells, multicellular, generally heterotrophic, without cilia and eukaryotic (9 + 2) flagella (undulipodia).

ex: Amanita, Morchella (Morel)

4. Kingdom Plantae [250,000 species]: Haplo-diploid life cycles, mostly autotrophic, retaining embryo within female s*x organ on parent plant.

ex: Palm, Rose

5. Kingdom Animalia [1,000,000 species]: Multicellular animals, without cell walls and without photosynthetic pigments, forming diploid blastula.

ex: Humans, Wasps
