Classification of Living Beings

The video tutorial explains the classification of living organisms into kingdoms, starting with Aristotle's initial division into animals and plants. It covers the characteristics used for classification, such as cell type, nutrition, and reproduction. The traditional five-kingdom model is detailed, including Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The video also introduces the updated six-kingdom classification, which separates Monera into Bacteria and Archaea. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for further learning.
