FIVE KINGDOM 
CLASSIFICATION
He classified 
all living 
organisms 
into five 
distinct 
Kingdom., 
based on the 
no: of cells 
and mode of 
nutrition.
FIRST KINGDOM 
KINGDOM MONERA
MONERA 
a. One celled organism or unicellular 
organism 
b. No nucleus 
c. Prokaryotic 
d. Smallest and simplest kind of 
living being 
e. Members include Bacteria.
BACTERIA 
ROD SHAPED BACTERIA
KINGDOM PROTISTA 
SECOND KINGDOM
FEATURES: 
 Most Protists are single celled but some have 
many cells 
 The cells have a membrane around the nucleus 
 Some protists get nutrients and energy by 
eating other organisms 
 Some protists get energy from the sun and 
nutrients from the water 
 Most protist reproduce by splitting into two
MEMBERS OF PROTISTA
THIRD KINGDOM 
KINGDOM FUNGI
CHARACTERISTICS 
 Most fungi are many celled and some are 
one celled organisms 
 Eukaryotic 
 Cells of the fungi have a membrane around 
nucleus 
 The fungi gets energy and nutrients by 
absorbing and digesting from the surface 
they live on 
 Most fungi reproduce by spores
FOURTH KINGDOM 
KINGDOM PLANTAE
CHARACTERISICS 
 Plants are many celled organisms 
 Plants cells have membrane around 
the nucleus, contain chlorophyll and 
have cell walls 
 Plants get energy from the un and 
nutrients from their surroundings 
 Most plants reproduce from the 
seeds
FIFTH KINGDOM 
KINGDOM ANIMALIA
CHARACTERISTICS 
 Animals are many celled or multi cellular 
organisms 
 Heterotrophic organisms 
 Animals cell have a membrane around 
the nucleus 
 Animals get energy and nutrients by 
eating other organisms 
 Animals reproduce with eggs, some 
inside the mother’s body , some outside 
the mother’s body

the KINGDOM
