In the years around 1980, there was an emphasis on phylogeny and redefining the kingdoms to be monophyletic groups, groups made up of relatively closely related organisms. The Animalia, Plantae, and Fungi were generally reduced to core groups of closely related forms, and the others placed into the Protista. Based on RNA studies, Carl Woese divided the prokaryotes (Kingdom Monera) into two kingdoms, called Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. Carl Woese attempted to establish a Three Primary Kingdom (or Urkingdom) system in which Plants, Animals, Protista, and Fungi were lumped into one primary kingdom of all eukaryotes. The Eubacteria and Archaebacteria made up the other two urkingdoms. The initial use of "six Kingdom systems" represents a blending of the classic Five Kingdom system and Woese's Three Kingdom system. Such six Kingdom systems have become standard in many works.

What are the 5 kingdoms of living organisms?
animal kingdom, fungus kingdoms, plant kingdoms, protist kingdom and moneran kingdom
How many Kingdoms of living organisms are there?
There used to be some agreement on 5 kingdoms. Now there are different opinions but the number is generally taken as 5 or 6.See the Related Link.
What structure is common to all six kingdoms of living organisms?
DNA
How do the kingdoms of living organisms differ?
Kingdoms and domains are used to classify living things. There are 3 domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryote. Within the domains, living things are sorted into Kingdoms. There are currently 5 Kingdoms protista, bacteria, archaea, plants, animals, and fungi. Previously, only the 5 kingdom system existed. Later however, the domains were added.
What caused a major change in the composition of Earths atmosphere?
The appearance of photosynthetic organisms
Are bactera living organisins?
Yes, bacteria are living organisms they are part of the 6 kingdoms
What are the 6 major Kingdoms currently recognized?
The six major Kingdoms currently recognized are Animalia (animals), Plantae (plants), Fungi (fungi), Protista (protists), Archaea (archaea), and Bacteria (bacteria). These Kingdoms classify all living organisms into broad groups based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
Do all kingdoms include some unicellular organisms?
Not all kingdoms include unicellular organisms. The kingdoms that do not have unicellular organisms include the plantae and animalia kingdom.
What kingdoms consist of only unicellular organisms?
The kingdoms eubacteria and kingdom archaebacteria are bacteria kingdoms, which are unicellular.
What system is used to help understand the relationships between organisms?
kingdoms kingdoms are domains, phenetics classifies organisms.
What kingdoms contain eukaryotic organisms?
The four kingdoms that contain eukaryotic organisms are plantae, animalia, fungi and protista.
What kingdoms have uncellular organisms?
The Kingdoms that are unicelllar are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, and Fungi.
What four kingdoms contain eukaryotic organisms?
The four kingdoms that contain eukaryotic organisms are plantae, animalia, fungi and protista.
Is fungi one the kingdoms of organisms?
no
What do all of the bacterial kingdoms have in common that is different from the organisms in other kingdoms?
wde
How do protists differ from major groups?
Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms. They are unicellular or simple multicellular organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Major groups such as plants, animals, and fungi are more complex multicellular organisms with distinct structures and functions.
In which two kingdoms do you find one-celled organisms?
One-celled organisms are referred to as prokaryotic and are less developed. The two kingdoms that have one-celled organisms are Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.
