What are the Characteristics of each six kingdoms?

Answer 1

Every living creature on Earth belongs to a kingdom. Scientists debate how many kingdoms there are, but most agree there are five. Here is how the five kingdoms are organized. Moneraare single-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus. Bacteria make up the entire kingdom. There are more forms of bacteria than any other organism on Earth. Some bacteria are beneficial to us, such as the ones found in yogurt. Others can cause us to get sick. Protists are mostly single-celled organisms that have a nucleus. They usually live in water. Some protists move around, while others stay in one place. Examples of protists include some algae, paramecium, and amoeba. Fungi are usually motionless organisms that absorb nutrients for survival. They include mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. Plants contain chlorophyll, a green pigment necessary for photosynthesis, a process in which plants convert energy from sunlight into food. Their cell walls are made sturdy by a material called cellulose, and they are fixed in one place. Plants are divided into two groups: flower- and fruit-producing plants and those that don't produce flowers or fruits. They include garden flowers, agricultural crops, grasses, shrubs, ferns, mosses, and conifers. Animals are the most complex organisms on Earth. Animals are multi-celled organisms, eat food for survival, and have nervous systems. They are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates and include mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds and fish.
Actually, there are now six kingdoms. The five kingdom was during the 1969 and it included all the bacterias within one group. The five kingdom system is as follows:

1. Monera: Bacteria. They are prokaryotic and unicellular. They are mobile.
2. protista: Protists. They are eukaryotic. Either autotrophic, heterotrophic, or even mixotrophic. They live live as unicellular, multicellular, or even as a colony. Some are mobile while some are sessile.
3. animalia: Animals. Eukaryotic and are heterotrophic. They are all multicellular and are mobile.
4. plantae: Plants. Eukaryotic and mostly autotrophic (some parasitic plants are heterotrophic). They are multicellular and sessile.
5. fungi: Mushrooms, fungus, etc. Eukaryotic and heterotrophic. They are multicellular and sessile.

Answer 2

There are 5 kingdoms in Whittakers system

1 Monera prokaryotic

2 Protista unicellular , with nucleus

3 Fungi chitin , no chlorophyll

4 Plantae , multicellular , chlorophyll

5 Animalia , multicellular ingestive heterotrophs

Answer 3

1 Archaebacteria- prokaryotes, Ancient Bacteria, have hard cell wall, live in harsh environments

2 Eubacteria-Prokaryotes, Don't live in harsh places, similar to archaebacteria

3Protista- eukaryote, unicellular ,slime molds, algae, amoeba

4Fungi- heterotrophs, multicellular, mushrooms, mold

5plants

6 Animals

Answer 4

Six Kingdoms of LifeI. Archaebacteria

Organisms: Methanogens, Halophiles, Thermophiles, Psychrophiles

Cell Type: Prokaryotic

Metabolism: Depending on species - oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur, sulfide may be needed for metabolism.

Nutrition Acquisition: Depending on species - nutrition intake may by absorption, non-photosynthetic photophosphorylation, or chemosynthesis.

Reproduction: Asexual reproduction by binary fission, budding, or fragmentation.

II. Eubacteria

Organisms: Bacteria, Cyanobacteria(blue-green algae), Actinobacteria

Cell Type: Prokaryotic

Metabolism: Depending on species - oxygen may be toxic, tolerated, or needed for metabolism.

Nutrition Acquisition: Depending on species - nutrition intake may by absorption, photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis.

Reproduction: Asexual reproduction

III. Protista

Organisms: Amoebae, green algae, brown algae, diatoms, euglena, slime molds

Cell Type: Eukaryotic

Metabolism: Oxygen is needed for metabolism.

Nutrition Acquisition: Depending on species - nutrition intake may be by absorption, photosynthesis, or ingestion.

Reproduction: Mostly asexual reproduction. Meiosis occurs in some species.

IV. Fungi

Organisms: Mushrooms, yeast, molds

Cell Type: Eukaryotic

Metabolism: Oxygen is needed for metabolism.

Nutrition Acquisition: Absorption

Reproduction: Asexual or sexual reproduction occur.

V. Plantae

Organisms: Mosses, angiosperms (flowering plants), gymnosperms, liverworts, ferns

Cell Type: Eukaryotic

Metabolism: Oxygen is needed for metabolism.

Nutrition Acquisition: Photosynthesis

Reproduction: Some species reproduce asexually by mitosis. Other species exhibit sexual reproduction.

VI. Animalia

Organisms: Mammals, amphibians, sponges, insects, worms

Cell Type: Eukaryotic

Metabolism: Oxygen is needed for metabolism.

Nutrition Acquisition: Ingestion

Answer 5

1. Animals: multicellular, heterotrophic organisms with the ability to move.
2. Plants: multicellular, autotrophic organisms that use photosynthesis to produce energy.
3. Fungi: multicellular or unicellular organisms that absorb nutrients from their surroundings.
4. Protists: diverse group of mostly unicellular organisms with varying modes of nutrition.
5. Archaea: single-celled organisms with prokaryotic cells that can live in extreme environments.
6. Bacteria: single-celled organisms with prokaryotic cells that are diverse in shape, structure, and habitat.
