Answer 1

In 1969, Whittaker proposed moving the prokaryotes from the kingdom plantae to a separate kingdom due to structural and metabolic differences.
His proposal of five kingdoms included:
1. kingdom monera (blue green algae)
2. kingdom protista (protozoans)
3. kingdom fungi (yeast, molds, mushrooms)
4. kingdom plantae (algae, eukaryotes...)
5. kingdom animalia

Answer 2

"Fungi"

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1969, R. H. Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom classification and suggested that the fungi be removed from the plant kingdom and classified in a separate kingdom, Fungi. Fungi are not photosynthetic like plants and absorb nutrients produced by other organisms. Fungi also have chitinous cell wall, several specific body structures and modes of reproduction which are not exhibited by plants.
