The FIVE-KINGDOM classification system was proposed in 1969 by:

  1. R.H. Whittaker, in his classic biology paper
  2. Carolus Linnaeus, in his Systema Naturae
  3. Charles Darwin, in his Origin of Species
  4. Aristotle, in his ancient Greek manuscripts
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. R.H. Whittaker, in his classic biology paper

R.H. Whittaker proposed the five-kingdom system in 1969: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia. Linnaeus founded modern classification (1758) but used a two-kingdom system. Darwin proposed natural selection (1859).

BACTERIA belong to which kingdom?

  1. Protista, single-celled eukaryotes
  2. Monera, prokaryotic single-celled organisms
  3. Fungi, with chitin cell walls in lichen
  4. Animalia, heterotrophic multicellular ingestors
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Monera, prokaryotic single-celled organisms

Bacteria belong to MONERA, the kingdom of prokaryotic single-celled organisms (no membrane-bound nucleus). **Examples:** bacteria, blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), archaea. Protista is for single-celled eukaryotes.

AMOEBA, PARAMECIUM, and EUGLENA are all members of:

  1. Kingdom Monera, the prokaryote kingdom
  2. Kingdom Animalia, the heterotrophic kingdom
  3. Kingdom Protista, single-celled eukaryotes
  4. Kingdom Fungi, decomposers and recyclers
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Kingdom Protista, single-celled eukaryotes

Amoeba, Paramecium, and Euglena are all single-celled EUKARYOTES (true nucleus), belonging to Kingdom Protista. They are larger and more complex than bacteria (Monera) but simpler than fungi, plants, or animals.
