1. Monera	a. Moulds
2. Protista	b. Bacteria
3. Fungi	c. Neem
4. Plantae	d. Butterfly
5. Animalia	e. Euglena

Accepted Answer

1-b
All prokaryotes belong to the Kingdom Monera. They do not possess a true nucleus. Cells of prokaryotes do not have a nuclear membrane and any membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria is an example of it.

2-e
Kingdom protista consists of unicellular and a few multicellular organisms. There are some protists which have the characteristics of plants, for example, algae; and some have the characteristics of animals, for example, Amoeba and Paramecium. There is a protist which has characteristics of both animals and plants. For example, Euglena. It has flagella to move and photosynthetic pigment known as chlorophyll to prepare food.

3-a
Fungi are eukaryotic and are mostly multicellular. They are saprotrophs as they grow and feed on dead and decaying matter. Kingdom Fungi includes molds, mildews, mushrooms and yeast.

4-c
Plants are multicellular eukaryotes that carry out photosynthesis. They store their food in the form of starch. Plant cells have a cell wall which is made up of cellulose. Kingdom Plantae includes neem, ferns, mosses, etc.

5-d
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic and heterotrophic animals. Sponges, hydra, flatworms, roundworms, insects, butterflies, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are examples of the organisms which belong to the animal kingdom. As a butterfly is an insect, therefore, it also belongs to the animal kingdom.
