State the main characteristics of the five kingdoms of organisms i. Monera e.g. bacteria unicellular (single celled) prokaryotic (genetic material not surrounded by membrane) cell Wall without cellulose lack most organelles small in size (microscopic) ii. Protista(protoctista) single celled(unicellular) eukaryotic (most cell organelles present) when cell Walls are present have no cellulose e.g. protozoa and algae usually microscopic iii. Fungi have hyphae (which form mycelia) absence of chlorophyll have rhizoids (lackroots, leaves, stem) have spore forming structures (sporangia) e.g. mucor, rhizopus iv. Plantae most are green/contain chlorophyll autotrophic/feed by photosynthesis cells have cellulose cell walls respond slowly to stimuli (tropism) lack locomotion (are stationary) indefinite growth (at meristems) lack specialized excretory structures v. Animalia
