Questions Related to five kingdoms of living organisms

George Bentham and J.D. Hooker divided dicots into

  1. 3 divisions

  2. 3 sub-divisions

  3. 2 sub-kingdoms

  4. 3  sub classes

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Bentham and Hooker divided the Angiospermae into two classes: Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons and in between this they have placed Gymnosperms. Dicotyledons is again divided into three subclasses. They are Polypetalae,  Gamopetale and Monochlamydeae. These sub classes are again divided into series. Series is again divided into order or cohort and order into family. So, the correct answer is '3  sub classes'.

Cells of many protistans, plants, and fungi, but not animals, commonly have

biology living world and classification of microbes pathogen and their mode of transmission economic importance of bacteria and fungi five kingdoms of living organisms

  1. cell wall

  2. ribosomes

  3. plasma membrane

  4. mitochondria

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

(A) The cell wall is a structural layer around types of the cell outside the cell membrane which provides the cell with structural support and protection found in algae, fungi, plants, bacteria and archaea.

(B) Ribosomes are minute particles with associated proteins and RNA to synthesise proteins and it can be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
(C) Plasma membrane surrounds the cell wall, which is composed of a phospholipid bilayer arranged back to back and covered in cholesterol and protein molecule.
(D) Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles, considered the power generators of the cell which converts nutrients and oxygen into ATP. They are not present in bacteria.
Hence, the correct answer is 'cell wall'

Artificial systems of classification were based on

biology living world and classification of microbes pathogen and their mode of transmission economic importance of bacteria and fungi five kingdoms of living organisms

  1. Vegetative characters

  2. Androecium structure

  3. All of these

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Artificial systems of classification were based on morphological characters such as habit, habitat, colour, number and shape of leaves. They were mainly based on vegetative characters or on the androecium structure.

So, the correct answer is 'All of these'.

In Whittaker's five kingdom system of classification, eukaryotes are distributed among

biology living world and classification of microbes pathogen and their mode of transmission economic importance of bacteria and fungi five kingdoms of living organisms

  1. two kingdoms

  2. three kingdoms

  3. four kingdoms

  4. all the five kingdoms

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

R.H. Whittaker proposed a Five Kingdom Classification. The kingdoms defined by him were named Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Among five kingdoms, only Monera is prokaryotic and remaining four are Eukaryotic.

So the correct option is "four kingdom".

The five kingdom classification was proposed by

  1. R.H. Whittaker

  2. C. Linnaeus

  3. A. Roxberg

  4. Virchow

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The five kingdom classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker.

So, the correct option is 'R.H. Whittaker'.

The arrangement of parts in an organism in such a way that the structure can only be divided into similar halves along one plane is known as

biology living world and classification of microbes pathogen and their mode of transmission economic importance of bacteria and fungi five kingdoms of living organisms

  1. Uniplanner symmetry

  2. Radial symmetry

  3. Bilateral symmetry

  4. Unique symmetry

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The property of being divisible into symmetrical halves on either side of a unique plane.

So, the correct option is 'Bilateral symmetry'.

To which kingdom Amoeba and Euglena belong in Whittaker's classification?

biology the world of microbes protista protozoa five kingdoms of living organisms

  1. Monera

  2. Plantae

  3. Protista

  4. Animalia

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The five kingdom classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker in 1969. The five kingdoms were formed on the basis of characteristics such as cell structure, mode of nutrition, the source of nutrition and body organization. It includes Kingdom Monera,  Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. According to Whittaker's 5 kingdom classification, unicellular eukaryotes belong to kingdom Protista. Amoeba and euglena are unicellular eukaryotic organisms so they belong to kingdom Protista.

So, the correct answer is 'Protista'.
