groups of kingdom animalia

The Animal Kingdom is divided in several phyla mainly on the basis of the cell organisation, symmetry, presence or absence of notochord and body cavity. Animals are arranged progressively from simple single-celled protozoans to highly complex mammals. Given below are some of the main cha..

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 animal body..

Carolus Linnaeus placed all the living organisms in two major kingdoms Kingdom Plantae for plants and Kingdom Animalia for animals. This classification was quite reasonable at that period of time since plants and animals could be very clearly distinguished. P..

The kingdom Metaphyta (or the plant kingdom in its true sense) includes all the eukaryotic, multicellular, photosynthetic plants found in this biosphere. It consists of three major groups of plants algae, bryophytes and tracheophytes. The group algae includes..

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...

The kingdom Metaphyta (or the plant kingdom in its true sense) includes all the eukaryotic, multicellular, photosynthetic plants found in this biosphere. It consists of three major groups of plants algae, bryophytes and tracheophyte..

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..

The Kingdom Metazoa includes all multicellular animals. The unicellular animals have been placed in the phylum protozoa which is now a part of the kingdom protista . Thus, all the remaining animals from sponges to mammals are now placed in the Kingdom Metazoa. Of the n..

Introduction - The present system of classification, recognises the living organisms under five kingdoms namely 1. KINGDOM: MONERA 2. KINGDOM: PROTISTA 3. KINGDOM: MYCOTA (FUNGI) 4. KINGDOM: METAPHYTA (PLANTS) 5. KINGDOM: METAZOA (ANIMALS)..

Summary - In the modern system of classification, living organisms are grouped under five kingdoms, as proposed by Whittaker (1966). The Kingdom Monera includes bacteria and blue green algae, both of which possess prokaryotic cells. Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes..
