<h2>Kingdom Monera</h2>
<p>The Kingdom Monera consists of prokaryotic, unicellular organisms. No nuclear <a data-lesson="membrane-proteins" data-subject="biology" data-tutorial="cell-biology" href="https://app.ulearngo.com/biology/cell-biology/membrane-proteins">membrane</a> or membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts, Golgi complex, <a data-lesson="mitochondria" data-subject="biology" data-tutorial="introducing-the-cell" href="https://app.ulearngo.com/biology/introducing-the-cell/mitochondria">mitochondria</a> or endoplasmic reticulum are present.

They reproduce asexually by binary fission. Important examples of Monera include Archaea and Bacteria.</p>
