Robert Whittaker classified living organisms into five kingdoms - Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Monera contains unicellular prokaryotes like bacteria. Protista includes unicellular eukaryotes with or without locomotion such as amoebas. Fungi are heterotrophic, non-motile organisms like mushrooms. Plantae are autotrophic, non-motile multicellular organisms. Animalia consists of heterotrophic multicellular organisms with locomotion abilities like animals. This five kingdom system is more widely accepted than previous two kingdom classifications that did not account for microorganisms.

4. INTRODUCTION
Micro Organism is does not include in a two kind
of classification. As the situation Robert Whittker
classified the living world in to five kingdoms. This
system of classification becomes more acceptable to
the world of science. Living world classified in to five
categories.

5. I.Monera
Unicellular organisms without definite nucleus
Examples: Bacteria

6. II. Protosta
Unicellular organisms with definite nucleua and simple
multicellular organisms similar to them
Example: Amoeba

7. III. Fungi
Heterotrophic unicellular organisms which do
not have the power of locomotion.
Example: Fungus

8. IV. Plante
Autotrophic multicellular organisms which do not
have the power of locomotion.
Example: plants

9. V. Animalia
Heterotrophic multicellular organisms which
have the power of locomotion
Example: Animals

10. Conclusion
Robert Whittker classified the living
would in two five kingdoms.It may be include in
a monera,protista,fungi, plante, animalie.
Carl Linnaeus does not include in a micro
organisms such as bacteria,fungiAmoeba.In the
cause of situation Robert Whittker classified
five kingdoms.
