Explain the basis for groupings into five kingdoms.

The basis for grouping of organisms into five kingdoms are:

1) The complexity of cell structure: It has two major cellular divisions within living things: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Thus, two broad groups can be formed- one having prokaryotic cell structure and the other having eukaryotic cell structure.

2) Some cells: It divides living organisms into unicellular and multicellular.

3) Mode of nutrition: Organisms have two types of nutrition- autotrophic and heterotrophic

4)  Based on the organisms that perform photosynthesis (plants), what is the level of organization of their body, that is unicellular and multicellular 

5) the animals, how does the individual’s body develop and organize its different parts, and what are the specialized organs found for different functions
