Book Free DemoMonera:
- These are organisms that lack a well-defined nucleus and cell organelles. Hence they are categorized as prokaryotes (as their cells lack a nuclear membrane).
- Though these organisms lack multicellular body designs, they show a wide range of diversity based on many other characteristics.
- This kingdom comprises both organisms whose cells have a cell wall and lack a cell wall.
- The presence and absence of cell walls have very different effects on body design in these organisms than multicellular organisms.
- They comprise both autotrophic and heterotopic organisms. But, most of the bacteria are heterotrophic.
Example:
Bacteria, mycoplasma and blue-green algae or cyanobacteria.
Monera: Top left - Bacteria; Top right - Blue-green algae; Bottom - Mycoplasma
Archaea:
The Kingdom Monera is further classified as Archaea that includes the bacteria which can live in harsh conditions. These organisms lack a cell wall.
As these organisms can live in extreme temperatures, they are also known as Extremophiles and are further classified based on their habitats.
Archea: Top left - Thermophiles; Top right - Methanogen; Bottom - Halophytes
Halophiles:
These organisms live in extremely salty water.
Thermophiles:
These organisms are found in hot springs and volcanoes.
Methanogens:
They are found in the guts of animals like cows and sheep. They are involved in the production of methane gas.
