Hi everyone! I am Robert Whittaker and I am an Australian professional mixed martial artist, American plant ecologist and a former UFC middleweight champion.
Robert Whittaker was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and received the ecological society of America's Eminent Ecologist award.
I proposed the five kingdom taxonomic classification of the world's biota into the Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protists, and Monera.
Kingdom Animalia is the taxonomic kingdom of living and extinct animals. Members of this kingdom are characterized by being eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic, devoid of cell walls and mostly motile.
Plantae-Plants include all land plants. Mosses, ferns, conifers, flowering plants and more - an amazing variety of forms. With over 250,000 species, he is the second largest after arthropods.
Protists are eukaryotes because they have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (structures that perform specific tasks). Previously, simple organisms such as amoebas and unicellular algae were grouped together into one taxonomic category. Protist Kingdom.
The kingdom Fungi includes a variety of organisms such as fungi, yeasts, and molds that consist of feather-like filaments called hyphae (collectively called mycelium). Fungi are (mostly) multicellular and eukaryotic. They are also heterotrophic and feed by absorption.
The Kingdom of Monera is divided into three sub-kingdoms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, and Cyanobacteria. The cell wall is rigid and composed of peptidoglycan. Asexual reproduction by binary fission. They contain 70S ribosomes. Flagella act as locomotory organs.
