This document discusses the three kingdoms of living organisms - Monera, Protista, and Fungi. Kingdom Monera contains prokaryotic, unicellular organisms like bacteria and blue-green algae. Kingdom Protista is made up of eukaryotic, unicellular organisms like Paramecium and Euglena that may be photosynthetic or heterotrophic. Kingdom Fungi consists of eukaryotic, multicellular organisms with cell walls containing chitin, including mushrooms, lichens, and parasitic fungi.

4. KINGDOM MONERA
 Prokaryotes : These organisms do not have a
defined nucleus or organelles
 Unicellular organisms
 Autotrophic or Heterotrophic
 Examples : Bacteria, Blue-green algae
•Archaebacteria
•Eubacteria
Kingdom
Monera is
classified
into two :

5. BACTERIA

6. BLUE GREEN
ALGAE/CYNOBACTERIA

7. KINGDOM PROTISTA
 Eukaryotes : These organisms have a well
defined nucleus and cell organelles
 Unicellular
 Autotrophic or Heterotrophic
 Cilia – Short hair like structures on their body
 Flagella – Long hair like structures on their
body
 Examples : Paramecium, Euglena

8. PARAMECIUM

9. EUGLENA

10. KINGDOM FUNGI
 Eukaryotes : These organisms
have well defined nucleus and
cell organelles
 Multicellular
 Cell wall : Made up of complex
sugar called Chitin

11. KINGDOM FUNGI
Symbiotic relationship :
Saprophytes :
Parasites :
Eg : Lichens
Eg : Mushrooms
Eg : Endothia Parasitica
