Whittaker proposed the five-kingdom classification. The five-kingdom system of classification involves Monera (prokaryotic) and Protista (eukaryotic), Fungi (eukaryotic), Plantae (eukaryotic), and Animalia (eukaryotic).
Kingdom Monera: Unicellular and colony-forming microbes include the true bacteria (eubacteria) and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Archaebacteria also comes under the Monera kingdom.
Kingdom Protista: Unicellular protozoans (like amoeba) and unicellular & multicellular (macroscopic) algae with 9 + 2 cilia and flagella included in this kingdom.
Kingdom Fungi: Haploid and binucleate (two nuclei) cells, multicellular generally heterotrophic, without cilia and eukaryotic (9 + 2) flagella.
Kingdom Plantae: This kingdom consists of Haplo-diploid life cycles, mostly autotrophic, retaining embryo within female sex organs on the parent plant.
Kingdom Animalia: The kingdom involves Multicellular organisms (Mammals) that do not have cell walls and photosynthetic pigments and forming diploid blastula.
