Read the following list of organisms: Anabaena, Saccharomyces, Rhizobium, Gonyaulax, Trichoderma, Thermus aquaticus How many of the given organisms are prokaryotic and belong to Kingdom Monera?

Step-by-step solution

Organisms belonging to Kingdom Monera are prokaryotes. They lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. 1. Anabaena is a cyanobacterium (blue-green alga) and belongs to Kingdom Monera. 2. Saccharomyces (yeast) is a unicellular eukaryote belonging to Kingdom Fungi. 3. Rhizobium is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, placed in Kingdom Monera. 4. Gonyaulax is a dinoflagellate, which is a unicellular eukaryote placed in Kingdom Protista. 5. Trichoderma is a fungus, hence eukaryotic. 6. Thermus aquaticus is a
