The document summarizes the Kingdom Monera, which consists of eubacteria and cyanobacteria. Eubacteria are heterotrophic organisms named according to their shape as coccus (round), spirillum (spiral), or bacillus (rod-shaped). Cyanobacteria are autotrophic organisms commonly found in water and land, and some can fix nitrogen through specialized cells called heterocysts.
They have distinct cell nuclei and membrane-bound organelles which allow for compartmentalization and dedication of specific areas of the cell for specific functions.
Plays a very important role in the phylogeny of all eukaryotes.
They serve as the stem group for the fungi, plants, and animals.
Major groups within this kingdom include the algae, euglenoids, ciliates, protozoans and flagellates.
Taxonomy (or systematics) is basically concerned with the classification of organisms. Living organisms are placed in groups on the basis of similarities and differences at the organismic, cellular, and molecular levels.
Based on NCERT class 9 Science Chapter 7 'Diversity in Living Organisms'. Describes how the classification is being made on the category of plants, animals, fungi, microbes etc. made by Vivek Ranjan Sahoo

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic group of bacteria that can fix atmospheric nitrogen essential for aminoacid biosynthesis. Earlier they were called as blue green algae. Now that name is not used because they are not belongs to the algae.

10. CYANOBACTERIA
They are autotrophic organisms
They are commonly found in fresh water
or marine environments and on land
Their cell walls are made up of
peptidoglycan, which is poisonous to
grazers
11. CYANOBACTERIA
Can exists as unicellular, colonial or
filamentous
Some cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen
because of heterocyst, thick walled cells
which contain the enzyme nitrogenase used
to convert nitrogen gas to ammonia
