Name the five kingdoms of Whittaker's classification and state the chief criterion for each.

Monera, prokaryotic and mostly unicellular. Protista, eukaryotic and unicellular. Fungi, eukaryotic, multicellular and saprophytic with chitinous walls. Plantae, eukaryotic, multicellular and autotrophic with cellulose walls. Animalia, eukaryotic, multicellular and heterotrophic with no cell wall.

No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.

Explanation

The criteria used are cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition and reproduction.
