Five Kingdom Classification System

Animals included every living thing that moved, ate, and grew to a certain size and stopped growing.

Plants included every living thing that did not move or eat and that continued to grow throughout life.

It became very difficult to group some living things into one or the other.

Protista (the single-celled eukaryotes); Fungi (fungus and related organisms);

Plantae (the plants); Animalia (the animals); Monera (the prokaryotes).

Many biologists now recognize six distinct kingdoms, dividing Monera into the Eubacteria and Archeobacteria.

the sytem holds true for this week

It might even hold up for a century or two.

Kingdoms are divided into categories called phyla, each phylum is divided into classes.

each class into orders, each order into families, each family into genera, and each genus into species.

Homo sapiens (us), or Acer palmatum (Japanese maple).

Classifying larger organisms into kingdoms is usually easy,

If you have had a little biology,

a good exercise is to describe individual living things, and to try to classify them as to kingdom.

Monera (includes Eubacteria and Archeobacteria)

Individuals are single-celled, may or may not move, have a cell wall.

have no chloroplasts or other organelles, and have no nucleus.

No visible feeding mechanism. T

hey absorb nutrients through the cell wall or produce their own by photosynthesis.

Protista

Protists are single-celled and usually move by cilia, flagella, or by amoeboid mechanisms.

There is usually no cell wall, although some forms may have a cell wall.

photosynthesis, ingestion of other organisms, or both.

Fungi

They have no mechanisms for locomotion.

Fungi range in size from microscopic to very large .

Nutrients are acquired by absorption.

Plantae

Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present.

and cell walls are present. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis .

(they all require sunlight).

Animalia

Animals are multicellular, and move with the aid of cilia, flagella.

or muscular organs based on contractile proteins.

Animals acquire nutrients by ingestion.

A “mini-key” to the five kingdoms

How can you begin to determine what it is?

Here is a key (not quite perfect) that you might use to help determine the kingdom to which it belongs.

The Five Kingdoms Classification System

All living things can be grouped into five categories.

This is called the five kingdom proposal and was introduced by Robert Whittaker in 1968 as a way to categorise all organisms.

Living organisms are divided into five kingdoms:

  • Prokaryotae
  • Protoctista
  • Fungi
  • Plantae
  • Animalia

Prokaryotae

  • Unicellular and Microscopic.
  • Non-membrane bound (no nuclear membrane, no ER, no mitochondia).
  • Cell wall made of murein.
  • Examples: Bacteria or Cyanobacteria (photosynthesising bacteria).

Protoctista

  • Mainly small eukaryotic organisms.
  • Many live in aquatic environments.
  • This is usually the kingdom where organisms which aren’t animals, plants or fungi go.
  • Examples: Algae, slime moulds and the malaria causing Plasmodium.

Fungi

  • Eukaryotic
  • Multicellular
  • Cell wall made of chitin.
  • Examples: Mushroom, Mold, Puffball

Plantae

  • Eukaryotic
  • Multicellular
  • Cell wall made of cellulose.
  • Members of the plantae group contain photosynthetic pigment and gain their energy through it.

Animalia

  • Eukaryotic
  • Multicellular
  • Heterotropic
  • The members of this kingdom can be split into two groups.
  • vertebrates and invertebrates. The diagram below shows the different subsections of the animalia

The Seven Kingdoms of Life

The seven kingdoms of living things are divided into two major groups: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

There are two prokaryotic kingdoms and five eukaryotic kingdoms.

There are huge fundamental differences between the ways these two groups go about living.

Here is just the briefest of distinctions.

Eukaryotes

Eukaryotes have a separate membrane bound nucleus, numerous mitochondria and organelles.

These areas are separated off from the main mass of the cell’s cytoplasm by their own membrane.

Prokaryotes

Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, mitochondria or any other membrane bound organelles.

Eukaryotic Kingdoms and Prokaryotic Kingdoms

The next level down of classification is into Kingdoms.

Older books will teach that there are two Kingdoms, Plants and Animals.

As of 2015, and the Publication of

“A Higher Level Classification of All Living Organisms”

by Ruggiero et al. seven kingdoms are now recognized.

The changes have resulted from better information collected from SEM imaging and DNA analysis.

Unfortunately Botanists, Mycologists and Zoologists.

who study the three kingdoms you will be most concerned with.

Here you will find a brief description of the seven kingdoms of life.

Unicellular organism

Unicellular organisms fall into two general categories: prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms.

Archaea

A bottom-dwelling community found deep in the European Arctic.[18]

Hydrothermal vents release heat and hydrogen sulfide, allowing extremophiles to survive using chemolithotrophic growth.[19] Archaea are generally similar in appearance to bacteria,

Archaebacteria

Archaebacteria are the most recent addition to the kingdoms of organisms.

They are single-celled and thrive in extremely hot boiling water found in environments like volcanic thermal vents in the ocean .

and hot springs like the geysers at Yellowstone Park.

Domain Bacteria

Domain Bacteria includes prokaryotic, unicellular organisms (Figure 2).

They are incredibly abundant and found in nearly every imaginable type of habitat, including your body.

While many people view bacteria only as disease-causing organisms, most species are actually either benign or beneficial to humans.

While it is true that some bacteria may cause disease in people, this is more the exception than the rule.

Domain Archaea

Like bacteria, organisms in domain Archaea are prokaryotic and unicellular.

Superficially, they look a lot like bacteria, and many biologists confused them as bacteria until a few decades ago.

But hiding in their genes is a story that modern DNA analysis has recently revealed:

archaeans are so different genetically that they belong in their own domain.

Kingdom Animalia is comprised of multicellular, heterotrophic organisms.

This kingdom includes humans and other primates, insects, fish, reptiles, and many other types of animals. Kingdom Plantae includes multicellular.

autotrophic organisms. Except for a few species that are parasites, plants use photosynthesis to meet their energy demands.

Which of the 6 kingdoms are multicellular?

What Are the Kingdoms That Contain Multicellular Organisms?
  • Eukaryotes. Organisms may be characterized by cellular features as either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. …
  • Kingdom Animalia. As members of this kingdom, people are generally very familiar with the animal kingdom. …
  • Kingrom Plantae. …
  • Kingdom Fungi. …
  • Kingdom Protista.

What groups are multicellular?

Multicellular organisms are those composed by multiple cells.
They are classified in 13 major groups of terrestrial living beings, including animals, plants, fungi, ciliates, algae, and foraminifera. The number of cells per organism range from some tens to up to several million.

What are the six kingdoms in biology?

Traditionally, some textbooks from the United States and Canada used a system of six kingdoms .
(Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea/Archaebacteria, and Bacteria/Eubacteria) while textbooks in Great Britain, India, Greece, Brazil and other countries use five kingdoms only (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista and …

Who is the father of five kingdom classification?

R. H. Whittaker
Answer: R. H. Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification. The five kingdom classification are- Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
