Earlier bacteria, blue green algae, fungi, algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and the angiosperms were grouped together in one kingdom - 'Plantae'. Give one character on the basis of which all these diverse groups were unified.

In the earlier classification system, bacteria, fungi, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms are included under Plantae on the basis of

Give an outline description of kingdom plantae and with at least two distinguishing characters and one example of each group.

Which statement (s) is/are not true for the five-kingdom classification proposed by R.H. Whittaker (1969)? (a) The main criteria for classification include cell structure, thallus organization, mode of nutrition, reproductions, and phylogenetic relationship. (b) All prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria, blue-green algae, and ferns are grouped together under kingdom monera. (c) Chlamydomonas, chlorella, and spirogyra are placed in Algae within plants due to the presence of the cell wall. (d) Fungi are placed in a separate kingdom: Kingdom fungi. (e) Paramecium and Amoeba are placed in the animal kingdom due to lack of cell wall.

Assertion : Algae were grouped as a separate kingdome by Whittaker. Reason : There are red , blue and green algae only.
