In the Two Kingdom classification, the Kingdom Plantae was erroneous with some major issues that include:
| I: | Placing bacteria and blue green algae with eukaryotic groups |
| II: | Grouping together the unicellular organisms with multicellular ones |
| III: | Placing heterotrophic fungi with autotrophic plants |
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
| 1. | R.H. Whittaker | 2. | C.Linnaeus |

| 3. | Only a and c | 4. | Only c |
| 1. | It is composed of polysaccharides and amino acids in Monera. |
| 2. | All members of Kingdom Protista have a cell wall, usually cellulosic. |
