The five-kingdom classification has certain merits and demerits. However, it is largely the most accepted system of modern classification mainly because of the phylogenetic placing of different groups of living organisms. This system of classification looks more scientific and n..

Kingdom Monera - The kingdom Monera includes the most ancient, the smallest, the simplest and the most widely distributed group of living organisms that are generally described by the term prokaryotes. The kingdom includes two major groups namely 1...

General Principles of Organic Nomenclature - Organic chemistry deals with about 5 million compounds containing carbon as an essential element. Remembering the name of each individual is not possible. Therefore, a system of nomenclature has been devised to name these co..

Five Kingdom Classification - The present trend in biology is to follow the five kingdom classification proposed by R.H.Whittaker in the year 1969. Whittaker classified the living organisms into five kingdoms namely. 1. KINGDOM: MONERA (prokaryotic ..

Summary - All multicellular animals are now placed in the kingdom of Metazoa. The multicellular animals show a very specific body organisation which ranges from cellular grade to organ system grade. Higher in the hierarchy of animal kingdom, one can recognise appearanc..

The original Animal Kingdom proposed by Linnaeus included the protozoans, sponges, jelly fishes, worms, crabs, insects, spiders, snails, starfishes, sharks, bony fishes, frogs, lizards, birds and mammals. In general, animals exhibit the following distinguishing characters. The a..

Introduction - The animal kingdom includes eukaryotic multicellular organisms which exhibit heterotrophic nutrition. They are commonly known as animals and differ characteristically from the other major groups of plants, in their capacity to be able to mov..
