Answer

The five-kingdom system of classification are: 1. Monera (Prokaryotae)- composed of unicellular organisms with cell walls. Their nutrient uptake is through absorption and they reproduce asexually. 2. Protista- composed of eukaryotic and unicellular organisms. Their nutrient intake is through absorption and they reproduce asexually or occasionally both sexual and asexual. 3. Fungi- composed of eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular organisms with cell wall, Their nutrient uptake is through absorption and they reproduce both sexualyl or asexually. 4. Plantae- composed of eukaryotic, multicellular organisms with cell wall. Their nutrient intake is through absorptive and photosynthetic and they reproduce both sexually and asexually. 5. Animali- composed of eukaryotic, multicellular organisms with no cell wall. Their nutrient uptake is through ingestion and they primarily reproduce sexually.
