Verified by Toppr

  • Blue-green algae also called cyanobacteria are primitive algae. They belong to a kingdom that consists of unicellular prokaryotic organisms. These are usually green in colour due to the presence of photosynthetic pigment.
  • Cyanophyceae belongs to the Monera kingdom which includes unicellular prokaryotic organisms as they are considered to be more closely related to bacteria.
  • Monerans lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, endoplasimic reticulum etc.
  • They also lack a true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, genetic material without a nuclear envelope.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Monera.'
