Detailed explanation-1: -Kingdom Monera contains organisms that are commonly referred to as prokaryotes. These organisms are unicellular, and the cell they are made up of will not contain a membrane-bound nucleus. The cells will possess a cell wall that differs from cell walls found in eukaryotes as it will not contain cellulose or chitin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eubacteria are unicellular prokaryotic cells. They contain a circular chromosome. Moreover, the eubacteria cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bacterial cell wall consists of peptidoglycan, an essential protective barrier for bacterial cells that encapsulates the cytoplasmic membrane of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cells. Peptidoglycan is a rigid, highly conserved, complex structure of polymeric carbohydrates and amino acids.
Detailed explanation-4: -Kingdom Plantae includes autotrophic organisms with cellulosic cell wall while kingdom Animalia includes heterotrophic organisms without the cell wall.
