What are some What are some Monerans?Monerans? Some Examples of monerans are:Some Examples of monerans are:
– Bacteria Bacteria – Blue-green bacteriaBlue-green bacteria
How are Monera How are Monera Named?Named? Monera are named based on their Monera are named based on their
shape. There are three shapesshape. There are three shapes– Round – “cocci”Round – “cocci”– Rod shaped – “bacilli”Rod shaped – “bacilli”– Spiral – “spirilli”Spiral – “spirilli”
How are Monerans How are Monerans helpful?helpful?
Monerans are helpful in many Monerans are helpful in many ways:ways:– Decomposers in the environment.Decomposers in the environment.– Feed on dead organisms and Feed on dead organisms and
wastes.wastes.– Produce foods like yogurt.Produce foods like yogurt.– Help in digestion.Help in digestion.
