monera
(Science: zoology) The lowest division of rhizopods, including those which resemble the amoebas, but are destitute of a nucleus.
Origin: NL, fr. Gr. Single.
Monera Prokaryotic kingdom that includes (in the most widely accepted classification system) archaebacteria, eubacteria, and cyanobacteria. Members of this kingdom were among the first forms of life over 3.5 billion years ago.

Monerans are classified into two phyla, or groups, autotrophs, and heterotrophs. Autotrophs are able to create their own food, similar to plants. Heterotrophs can not create their own food, and so must rely on autotrophs as their food source.
Monera are the only kingdom composed of prokaryotic organisms, they have a cell wall, and lack both membrane-bound organelles and multicellular forms.
monerans Members of the kingdom Monera, which consists of prokaryotic organisms.
monestrous A species in which the female is receptive for only a few days once each year.
The kingdom Monera has a simple criterion for inclusion....you must be a prokaryote.
Five kingdoms are recognized: Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae.
Phylum: A subdivision of a kingdom encompassing all forms of life with the same distinctive body plan. [plural = phyla].
Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms that lack nuclei and are therefore prokaryotes, classified in kingdom Monera in the traditional five-kingdom taxonomy.
In 1969 Whittaker proposed a "five kingdom" system in which three kingdoms were added to the animals and plants: Monera (bacteria), Protista, and Fungi. Whittaker defined the kingdoms by a number of special characteristics.
As mentioned in the previous page, prokaryotes include the kingdoms of Monera (simple bacteria) and Archaea. Simply stated, prokaryotes are molecules surrounded by a membrane and cell wall.
