Characteristics of Monera Kingdom

The organisms in this kingdom have the following characteristics: -

  • Monerans are single-celled creatures.
  • The cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan and is stiff.
  • Binary fission is asexual reproduction.
  • They have 70S ribosomes in them.
  • The locomotory organ is the flagella.
  • Organelles such as mitochondria, lys
  • osomes, plastids, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, centrosome, and others are not present.
  • These are decomposers and mineralizers for the environment
