Detailed explanation-1: -Under the five-kingdom classification given by R.H. Whittaker, prokaryotic organisms are placed in the kingdom Monera .
Detailed explanation-2: -2.1 Bacteria Bacteria belong to the prokaryotic kingdom Monera. These are unicellular and simple in structure, rod-like, spherical, or curved in shape and may carry out all of their activities within one cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes-pro means before and kary means nucleus. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all eukaryotes-eu means true-and are made up of eukaryotic cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Separate prokaryotic kingdoms with purportedly distinct evolutionary histories are called bacteria or eubacteria and archaebacteria or archaea.
Detailed explanation-5: -The cell types in Bacteria and Archaea are considered as “prokaryotes.” The use of the term prokaryote was first introduced as a result of electron microscope studies showing a shared simple cell structure among bacteria (Stanier & Van Niel 1962).
