Final answer:
Among the given options, 'Eukaryotic prokaryotes' is not possible because it is a contradictory term; prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotes do, making the existence of eukaryotic prokaryotes impossible.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question asks which of the following is not possible: a) Photosynthesis in animals b) Respiration in plants c) Movement in fungi d) Eukaryotic prokaryotes. To determine the correct answer, let's evaluate the given options one by one based on biological concepts:
- Photosynthesis in animals is not possible because animals do not have chloroplasts, which are necessary for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process restricted to plants, algae, and some bacteria that have the required pigment chlorophyll and chloroplasts.
- Respiration in plants is indeed possible as plants respire to break down sugar molecules to obtain energy.
- Movement in fungi can occur, although it is not movement in the sense of animals. Fungi can grow towards food sources or spread their spores over distances.
- Eukaryotic prokaryotes are not possible because this term is contradictory. Eukaryotes are organisms with complex cells that have a nucleus, such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists, whereas prokaryotes are organisms with simpler cells that lack a nucleus, including bacteria and archaea.
Therefore, the answer is d) Eukaryotic prokaryotes, because this concept is a contradiction and does not exist in nature.
