Question

Which is a characteristic that distinguishes members of the

plant kingdom from members of the animal kingdom?
Select one:

A. Plants store genetic information in the nucleus of their cells

B. Plants are motile primary consumers

C. Plants are multicelular

D. Plants are autotrophic

Answer 1

D. Plants are autotrophic

Step-by-step explanation:

• Both plants and animals are eukaryotic, meaning they contain a nucleus with genetic information, so that crosses out A.
• I don't know what motile primary consumers are. Assuming, they're primary consumers, primary consumers are those that eat producers, so in this case, this would elminate B.
• Both plants and animals are multicellular.
• Plants ARE autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food. Animals, however, have to get their own food, either by hunting or scavaging.
