Solution
Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been clubbed together in the Eubacteria of Kingdom Monera as per the “Five Kingdom Classification” because they do not have nuclear envelopes and membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is naked. They have 70S type of ribosomes. So, cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria are prokaryotes and belong, to Kingdom Monera.
