Q. According to Whittaker’s five kingdom classification, the Chlorella and Chlamydomonas are kept along with Amoeba and Paramoecium under
NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Biological Classification
Solution:
Some unicellular algae and protozoans were removed form plant and animal kingdoms and were included in a separate kingdom, Kingdom Protista.
The Paramoecium, like the Amoeba, is a protozoan. It is structurally composed of a flexible outer pellicle, a large macronucleus (with multiple copies of its DNA), a tiny micronucleus, two contractile vacuoles, an oral groove, mouth pore, and gullet.
Chlamydomonas is a member of the kingdom Protista in five kingdom classification systems. In earlier classification systems, it was placed under the Kingdom Plantae in sub-category algae along with Chlorella. The sole reason for this would be the presence of a cell wall in both.
