Blue- green algae also known as cyanobacteria come under this kingdom.They are all unicellular. No organism is multicellular.They reproduce by asexual means or vegetative means.Some bacteria adopt a VERY primitive mode of sexual reproduction.It has 3 main domains: Eubacteria, Cyanobacteria, Archaebacteria.

Monera is a biological kingdom that includes unicellular prokaryotic organisms like bacteria and blue-green algae. The main criteria for categorizing an organism within the Monera kingdom include having prokaryotic cells (lacking a true nucleus), lacking membrane-bound organelles, and being unicellular (although some species can form colonies).


Which kingdom are prokaryotic cell organisms in?

What are facts about Monera life kingdom?

Monera is a biological kingdom that includes bacteria and archaea, which are simple, single-celled organisms without a nucleus. They are some of the oldest forms of life on Earth and can be found in a wide range of habitats, from extreme environments like hot springs to inside the human body. Monera play important roles in various ecological processes, such as nutrient cycling, decomposition, and symbiotic relationships with other organisms.
