Detailed explanation-1: -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. These are the smallest living bodies ranging in size from 0.1 to 10 microns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Characteristics of Monera The Monerans are unicellular organisms. They contain 70S ribosomes. The DNA is naked and is not bound by a nuclear membrane. It lacks organelles like mitochondria, lysosomes, plastids, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, centrosome, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blue-green algae or Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria and they are placed under kingdom Monera because they are unicellular, they show prokaryotic features like lack of a defined nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -In simple words, Monera comprises archaebacteria, eubacteria and cyanobacteria, whereas Protista includes algae, protozoans and moulds. Even though they include unicellular organisms, they are quite different from one another.

Detailed explanation-5: -Along with Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals, Monerans make up the five kingdoms of living things. As one of the first life forms to evolve, they are today the most abundant living organisms on Earth. Monerans are found throughout the world and can live in freezing as well as extremely hot conditions.
