Kingdom Monera

Science > Biology > Classification of Microbes, Protists, and Fungi > Kingdom Monera The kingdom Monera is also referred as kingdom prokaryotae. Bacteria are the sole members of the Kingdom Monera. Organisms of kingdom monera are called lower-level organisms because no tissue-level organization is present in them. Their one cell is capable of performing all the functions […]
