Write two important characteristics of each of the five kingdoms.

1. Kingdom Monera —
   1. They are unicellular and prokaryotic organisms.
   2. Their mode of nutrition is mainly autotrophic and sometimes heterotrophic.
2. Kingdom Protista —
   1. They are unicellular and eukaryotic organisms.
   2. Some show plant characters, for example Algae is autotrophs with cell wall and chloroplast; while others show animal like characters, for example Paramecium is motile with flagella.
3. Kingdom Fungi —
   1. They are eukaryotic and heterotrophic (without chlorophyll) organisms.
   2. Their cells have a cell wall made of tough, complex sugar called chitin.
4. Kingdom Plantae —

   2. The cell wall of plant cells is made of cellulose.
5. Kingdom Animalia —
   1. They are multicellular and heterotrophic organism.
   2. They do not have cell wall but contain cell membrane.
