Answer 1

To complete the chart, Kingdom Plantae is 'Autotrophic,' Kingdom Fungi is 'Absorptive nutrition,' and Kingdom Animalia is 'Ingestive nutrition.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristics to complete the chart for Kingdom Plantae would be “Autotrophic” as plants are capable of photosynthesis, producing their own food from sunlight. For Kingdom Fungi, the characteristic would be “Absorptive nutrition” because fungi absorb nutrients from their environment, often through decomposing organic matter. Lastly, for Kingdom Animalia, the characteristic would be “Ingestive nutrition” as animals consume organic substances or other organisms to obtain their nutrients.

In summary:

• Kingdom Plantae: Autotrophic (Photosynthesis)
• Kingdom Fungi: Absorptive nutrition (Decomposers)
• Kingdom Animalia: Ingestive nutrition (Consumers)

These characteristics reflect the nutritional methods that differentiate these kingdoms.
