Should cyanobacteria be placed under plants or monera?

Cyanobacteria are sometimes considered as plants(algae), but they are actually bacteria (prokaryotic,monera). They also derive their energy through photosynthesis, but lack a nucleus or membrane bound organelles, like chloroplasts. read more

Kingdom Monera - All the organisms of this kingdom are prokaryotes. Complex structure was the basis of classification of organisms, many centuries ago. According to R.H. Whittaker's five kingdom classification all the bacteria were placed under the Kingdom Monera. read more

Slime molds are often placed in kingdom fungi but are more related to protists. Arranged in coenocytic many nuclei mass of protoplasm. Unique life cycle containing animal and plant like stages like fruiting bodies and unicellular flagellated spores. read more

Molecular oxygen is not evolved during this process, which is similar to that in purple and green photosynthetic sulfur bacteria. The photosynthetic pigments of cyanobacteria include chlorophyll a (also found in algae and plants) and phycobiliproteins. See Chlorophyll, Photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are extremely diverse morphologically. read more
