Taxonomic Hierarchy: Kingdom to Division — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptIn this chapter we will study characteristics of Kingdoms Monera, Protista, Fungi and Plantae. The next higher category called Phylum (in case of animals) or Division (in case of plants) groups together all the classes which have common characteristics. Kingdom Plantae and Animalia, commonly referred to as plant and animal kingdoms respectively, will be dealt separately in chapters 3 and 4.
Consider the following statements : 1. Nostoc belongs to Kingdom Monera, subdivision Cyanobacteria, is prokaryotic, photosynthetic, and fixes nitrogen in heterocysts. 2. Paramecium belongs to Kingdom Animalia, phylum Protozoa, shows holozoic nutrition and locomotion by cilia. 3. Agaricus (mushroom) belongs to Kingdom Fungi, class Basidiomycetes, with septate mycelium and reproduces by basidiospores. 4. Cholrella belongs to Kingdom Plantae, division Algae, is filamentous, photosynthetic, and eukaryotic. 5. Hydra belongs to Kingdom Protista, class Cnidaria, and shows alternation of generations. How many of the above statements are correct?
