Why animal-like protists are not placed in the animal kingdom?
According to new system of classification as given by Whittaker 1969 unicellular animals are included in a seprated kingdom known as protista and or known as protozoans i.e. single cell. The animal kingdom consists of multicellular organisms. The multicellular organisms are called metazoans and their cells are capable of performing all the essential activities of life.
What are the 3 charateristics of the protist kingdom?
The Kingdom Protista is a trash can taxon. Any organism that did not (does not) fit nicely into the animal, plant, or fungal kingdoms was (is) placed here. There are no unifying characteristics for the Protists.
Are all fungi unicellular?
Fungi are almost entirely multicellular (with yeasts e.g., Saccharomyces cerviseae, unicellular fungi) Many imperfect Fungi are also unicellular .Characters : Heterotrophic (deriving their energy from another organism, whether alive or dead), and usually having some cells with two nuclei (multinucleate, as opposed to the more common one, or uninucleate) per cell. Ecologically this kingdom is important (along with certain bacteria) as decomposers and recyclers of nutrients. Economically, the Fungi provide us with food (mushrooms; Bleu cheese/Roquefort cheese; baking and brewing), antibiotics (the first of the wonder drugs, penicillin, was isolated from the fungus Penicillium), and crop parasites (doing several million dollars per year of damage).
In which kingdom were mushrooms yeasts and molds placed before the Fungi kingdom was created?
Before the Fungi kingdom was created, mushrooms, yeasts, and molds were placed in the Plant kingdom. This classification was based on their stationary nature and similar reproductive structures to plants.
What characteristics make a organism a protist?
All single celled organisms are placed under Kingdom Protista. This kingdom forms a link between other kingdoms of plants, animals and fungi. Members of Protista are primarily aquatic in nature.
Why are protest not placed in the animal plant and fungi kingdom?
because protest are unicellular and have nothing in common with these kingdoms and these have evolved over time to create the first multicellular organism
What kingdom does Lichen belong?
They belong in the kingdom Protoctista.In the more commonly used 5 Kingdom system they are placed in Fungi
Why multicellular algae were previously placed in plants but now in protoctist?
why multicellular algae wre previously in plant but now in protoctista
One characteristic used to place organisms into kingdom is?
Structure of a nucleus- whether prokaryotic (then Kingdom Monera) or Eukaryotic. If Eukaryotic, then the next criterion to be used is Number of cells- if Unicellular, then the organisms are placed in Kingdom Protista. Further, if multicellular, then go for mode of nutrition. If holozoic, then it is Kingdom Animalia, if Autotrophic nutrition, then it is characteristic of Kingdom Plantae, and If nutrition is saprophytic or parasitic, then it characterizes Kingdom Fungi.There are 6 Kingdoms today:PlantaeAnimaliaProtistaFungiArchaebacteriaEubacteria.The Kingdom that the organism is assigned to is based on:Its cell type (complex or simple)Its ability to make food or notThe number of cells in the bodycell structure :)Cell structure

Is alge considered a plant?
Algae is a plant ... in the past they were all considered to share a common ancestor ( monophyletic ) so were all grouped in the Plant kingdom ... today they are thought to have different ancestors ( polyphyletic ) and are placed in several different divisions within the Plant kingdom while unicellular and colonial algae are placed in separate kingdom Protista ( these would not be plants since they are not multicellular despite the fact they are photosynthetic ). Keep in mind there are bacteria capable of photosynthesis but these are all placed in the kingdom Monera which contains the bacteria and "Blue Green Algae" ... due primarily to there cell structure ( they are prokaryotic and not eukaryotic like members of the Plant kingdom ... and they are also single celled organisms amongst other differences ) It's also interesting that Fungi also were once placed in the plant Kingdom but now are placed in the Kingdom Fungi. Good Day ...
What is a raccoon's kingdom and why?
Raccoons have all the attributes of animals so are placed in the anamalia kingdom. All the members of this kingdom are multicellular, eukaryotes. They are heterotrophs, they depend on other organisms directly or indirectly for food. Most of the animals ingest food and digest in the internal cavity. Most of the organisms are motile which means they can move independently and spontaneously.
What are the 3 charateristics of the protist kingdom?

How organism are group?
Organisms are grouped in what is called scientific classification. There are five taxonomic ranks, or levels, the animals are placed under. In order, they are the kingdom, phylum, division, class, order, family, genus and species. Animals are placed first under their kingdom, which is the most general classification of an organism, all they way to the species, which is the most specific classification. also the other main class is chicken dipper an animal falls into this class if they like them.
Which kingdom do virus belong to and characteristics of that kingdom?
Since they are not living, they are not classified and placed in a kingdom.
Which kingdom are archaea placed in?
Archaea are unicellular prokaryote, an organism of the kingdom Monera (or Prokaryotae), comprising the bacteria and cyanobacteria, characterized by the absence of a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, and by DNA that is not organized into chromosomes. Also called moneran.
Which kingdom is archae placed in?
Crenarchaeota
