3. FIVE KINGDOM CLASSIFICATION
R.H. Whittaker (1969) proposed a Five Kingdom Classification. The kingdoms defined by him were named Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The main criteria for classification used by him include cell structure, thallus organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships.

4. KINGDOM MONERA
Bacteria are the sole members of the Kingdom Monera. They are the most abundant micro-organisms.
Bacteria are grouped under four categories based on their shape:
The spherical Coccus ,
The rod-shaped Bacillus ,
The comma-shaped Vibrium ,
And The spiral Spirillum .

8. Mycoplasma

9. KINGDOM PROTISTA CHRYSOPHYTES Golden Algae
All single-celled eukaryotes are placed under Protista , but the boundaries of this kingdom are not well defined.
This kingdom forms a link with the others dealing with plants, animals and fungi.

12. SLIME MOULDS

13. PROTOZOANS AMOEBOID PROTOZOANS Entamoeba
All protozoans are heterotrophs and live as predators or parasites. They are believed to be primitive relatives of animals.
There are four major groups of protozoans.
They are: Amoeboid protozoans, Flagellated protozoans, Ciliated protozoans, Sporozoans

14. FLAGELLATED PROTOZOANS
Trypanosoma
CILIATED PROTOZOANS
Paramoecium
SPOROZOANS
Plasmodium

15. KINGDOM FUNGI PHYCOMYCETES Mucor
The fungi constitute a unique kingdom of heterotrophic organisms. They show a great diversity in morphology and habitat.

18. KINGDOM PLANTAE Gymnosperms Angiosperms
Kingdom Plantae includes all eukaryotic chlorophyll-containing organisms commonly called plants.

21. KINGDOM ANIMALIA Flatworms Birds Fish
This kingdom is characterised by heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms that are multicellular and their cells lack cell walls. They directly or indirectly depend on plants for food.
