  1. kingdom monera

    Monera (/məˈnɪərə/) (Greek - μονήρης (monḗrēs), "single", "solitary") is a biological kingdom that is made up of prokaryotes. As such, it is composed of single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus. The taxon Monera was first proposed as a phylum by Ernst Haeckel in 1866. Subsequently, the phylum was elevated to the rank of kingdom in 1925 by Édouard Chatton. The last commonly accepted mega-classification with the taxon Monera was the five-kingdom classification system was established by Robert Whittaker in 1969. Under the three-domain system of taxonomy, introduced by Carl Woese in 1977, which reflects the evolutionary history of life, the organisms found in kingdom Monera have been divided into two domains, Archaea and Bacteria (with Eukarya as the third domain). Furthermore, the taxon Monera is paraphyletic (does not include all descendants of their most recent common ancestor), as Archaea and Eukarya are currently believed to be more closely related than either is to Bacteria. The term "moneran" is the informal name of members of this group and is still sometimes used (as is the term "prokaryote") to denote a member of either domain.Most bacteria were classified under Monera; however, some Cyanobacteria (often called the blue-green algae) were initially classified under Plantae due to their ability to photosynthesize.

  1. kingdom monera

    Kingdom Monera is a classification that comprises all prokaryotic organisms, which are single-celled organisms lacking a distinct nucleus and other specialized cell structures. This kingdom primarily includes two groups: bacteria and cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae). Organisms in the kingdom Monera are typically unicellular and can live in various habitats including soil, water, and inside human bodies. They can reproduce both sexually and asexually. In the five kingdom classification system, Monera is the most basic kingdom. Modern taxonomy, however, has replaced this kingdom with two separate domains: Bacteria and Archaea.
