  • 2 Protista
  • 3 Fungi
  • 4 Plantae
  • 5 Animalia

Monera

1) They do not have a defined nucleus or organelles.

2) They do not show multi-cellular body design.

3) The mode of nutrition can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.

4) For Example: Bacteria, blue green algae or cyanobacteria, mycoplasma.

5) They show diversity based on many characteristics.

Protista

1) It include many unicellular eukaryotic organism such as algae, protozoa, diatoms.

2) Some of these organism use appendages such as hair like cilia (Paramecium) or whip like flagellum(Euglena).

3) The mode of nutrition can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

Fungi

1) They are simple, non-green plants which are not photosynthetic.

2) They are heterotrophic i.e. draw their nutrients from living cells of their host plant or dead remains of plants and animals (Saprophytes).

3) They may be unicellular(Yeast) or filaments(most fungi).

4) The body of multicellular and filamentous fungus is called mycelium and is composed of several thread like structures called hypae.

6) Some fungi live in permanent mutually dependent relationship with blue green algae or cynobacteria. This relationship is called as symbiotic relationship. Lichens are symbiotic life forms.

Plantae

1) They are multicellular eukaryotes with cell wall.
2) They are autotrophs and use chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
3) For Example: green plants

Animalia

1) Multicellular, eukaryotic, without cell wall.

2) They are heterotrophic.
