The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the five kingdoms of Whittaker arranged in an evolutionary manner, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Introduction to Whittaker's Classification**: - Robert H. Whittaker proposed the Five Kingdom System of classification in 1969. This system categorizes organisms based on certain criteria. 2. **Criteria for Classification**: - Whittaker used three main criteria for his classification: - **Complexity of Cell Structure**: Differentiating between prokaryotic (simple) and eukaryotic (complex) cells. - **Complexity of Organism's Body**: Considering whether the organism is unicellular or multicellular. - **Mode of Nutrition**: Classifying organisms based on how they obtain their food (autotrophic or heterotrophic). 3. **The Five Kingdoms**: - The five kingdoms proposed by Whittaker are: 1. **Monera**: This kingdom includes prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria. 2. **Protista**: This kingdom consists of unicellular eukaryotic organisms, like protozoa and some algae. 3. **Plantae**: This kingdom includes multicellular autotrophic organisms, primarily plants. 4. **Fungi**: This kingdom consists of multicellular and unicellular organisms that are heterotrophic, such as mushrooms and yeast. 5. **Animalia**: This kingdom includes multicellular heterotrophic organisms, which are animals. 4. **Evolutionary Arrangement**: - When arranged in an evolutionary manner, the kingdoms reflect the complexity of organisms, starting from the simplest (Monera) to the most complex (Animalia). ### Final Answer: The five kingdoms of Whittaker arranged in an evolutionary manner are: 1. Monera 2. Protista 3. Plantae 4. Fungi 5. Animalia ---
