I keep getting “Five-kingdom system” questions wrong in Biological Classification. What's the trap?
thinking classification is based on size or habitat rather than cell type and nutrition.
The usual trap: thinking classification is based on size or habitat rather than cell type and nutrition. How to avoid it: cell type (pro/eukaryote) + how it feeds decide the kingdom. Go back to the definition — Whittaker grouped life into Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia using cell structure and mode of nutrition.

Memory tip
