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..

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 organisms) 2. KINGDOM: PROTISTA (primiti..

The original plant kingdom proposed by Linnaeus and subsequent taxonomists of that period included the bacteria, fungi, algae, liverworts, mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants. Plants in general are considered to exhibit the following distinguishing characters. Plants ex..

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 natural bec..

. The two-kingdom classification has certain demerits, particularly with reference to lower forms of life which show common features with both plants and animals. In 1858 Earnt Haeckel proposed the three-kingdom classification in which apart from Plantae and Animalia, a new ..

. Cyanobacteria are characterised by the presence of phycocyanin (blue) and chlorophyll (green) pigments. The Kingdom Protista includes primitive unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Protista are mainly represented by unicellular algae (such as diatoms) and protozoans - rhizopods, flagellate..

In some higher fungi, several hyphae may become interwoven to form rope-like structures called rhizomorphs. Under favourable conditions, they resume growth to give rise to new mycelia. fig. 8.19 - Modes of Vegetative Reproducti..

In some fungi like Puccinia, tiny unicellular spore like structures called spermatia are formed. They get transferred to female gametangia through various agencies. fig. 8.21 - Types of Sexual Reproduction in Fungi..
