What are the kingdoms of microorganisms?

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

i think virus, bacteria, protozoans, algae, fungi

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

any time..:)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Monera is the kingdom exclusively unicellular microorganisms. @deepika.comet virus is not a kingdom

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

ohh kk @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

*exclusively for

OpenStudy (abhisar):

But the point to be noted here is that, Microorganism can both be multicellular and unicellular.

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yeah....!!!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Microorganism is any small organism which is not visible by naked eye.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

What domain is Monera in?

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yeah..!!

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

kingdom @quickstudent

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Monera is the kingdom which contains all the prokaryotes. Both archae and bacteria contain monerans

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

O_o

OpenStudy (abhisar):

There are five kingdoms according to whittaker's classification (1) Monera (2) Protista (3) Fungi (4) Plantae (5) Animalia

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

the first three are all micros right..! @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It depends...all fungi are not microo

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yeah.. but mostly

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I can't say that, what mostly means to u

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

most of the fungi are micros

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

as far as i knew the fruiting bodis of most fungi are naked than the mycelium

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

*bodies

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Well generally fungi lives in colonies and are visible.

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So i'll insist monera and Protista

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

@quickstudent got it now..??

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yeah onlly two monera and protista are microo

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I understand now.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

as far i remember only yeast is unicellular fungi

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yeah yeast is unicellular that doesnot mean it is the only micro organism which is not naked

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

monera contains mostly bacteria then protista contain..??

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I am just telling...i already explained what microorganism means :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Protista contains unicellular eukaryotes like amoeba, chlamydomonas...and multicellular diatoms etc

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

okay im just confirming dont get angry @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

LOL...m not getting angry :D

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

okay so protista has protozoans..?

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

so monera - virus and bacteria Protista - protozoans Fungi - fungi Plantae - algae and other higher plants animalia - all the animals right..!!!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No monera does not contains Virus !

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

then where virus.. im poor in the classifications...:(

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Virus has no kingdom !

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

ohh so they are alone like that.. ohh so sad

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Virus is niether living nor Non-Living...so they are not still classified.

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

:) :D

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Every kingdom contains living organisms.

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

Yeah... got it today having a doubt where i couldnt get this clarified from a long time thanx @Abhisar
