Question:
Explain the basis for grouping organisms into five kingdoms.
Answer:
The basis for grouping organisms into five kingdoms is:
- Cell Structure: It has two major cellular structural divisions within living things i.e. prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
- Number of Cells: It divides into unicellular and multicellular.
- Mode and source of nutrition: Organisms are divided based on the mode of nutrition i.e. autotrophic and heterotrophic.
- Phylogenetic Relationship and Body Organisation: Based on body organisation and evolution organisms are divided into simple and complex organisms.
