Living creatures are found on land, in the air, as well as in the water coveringthe surface of the earth.To make it easier to study the different living creatures on earth, scientists dividedthem into groups. The five groups in which they are divided are called kingdoms.They include:Monera (the prokaryotic bacteria and blue-green algae – which do not havenuclear membranes or subcellular organelles).Protista (unicellular algae and protozoans – single celled organisms).Plantae (multicellular plants).Fungi (non-photosynthetic plantlike organism – e.g. Mushrooms).Animalia (multicellular animals).Version: 01 Version Date: July 2006
