Animal kingdom classification

The animal kingdom contains many phyla. Some of them are: Vertebrates, Arthropods, Annelids, Molluscs, Nematodes. It is not always easy to recognise an animal. For a very long time, people thought that’s sea anemones were plants, because they tend to stay in one place and their tentacles look rather kike petals. Now we know that they are animals.

Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification on the basis of their characteristics. The five kingdom classification are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.

Phylum Hemichordata includes unique marine invertebrates that illustrate the transition from non-chordate to chordate animals. Their anatomy features a tripartite body plan, consisting of the proboscis, collar, and trunk, along with pharyngeal gill slits crucial for respiration. This phylum encompasses three main classes: Enteropneusta (acorn worms), Pterobranchia (small colonies in deep marine environments), and Planctochea (planktonic species). Hemichordates exhibit different feeding…

What is the basis of distinction in each of the four steps?This is the five kingdom classification given by scientist Whittaker (1969).This scheme was based on - Structure of Cells - {prokaryotic or eukaryotic }Structure of Organism - {unicellular or Multicellular}Mode of nutrition - Photosynthesis in green plants, absorption in fungi and ingestion
