Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the traditional five-kingdom classification system, which includes Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
Understand that the kingdom Monera is characterized by organisms that are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Recognize that common bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, which places them in the kingdom Monera.
Note that Protista includes mostly unicellular eukaryotes, Plantae includes multicellular photosynthetic organisms, and Fungi includes multicellular decomposers, none of which describe bacteria.
Conclude that common bacteria belong to the kingdom Monera in the traditional five-kingdom classification system.
