Question

Which of the following statements correctly describes a kingdom in the Domain

Eukarya?
A Kingdom Protista includes single-celled organisms that lack nuclei.
B Kingdom Animalia includes multicellular organisms that make their own food.
C Kingdom Plantae includes multicellular organisms that can move independently.
D Kingdom Fungi includes organisms that get energy by absorbing materials in their
environment.

Answer 1

D. Kingdom Fungi includes organisms that get energy by absorbing materials in their environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms in the domain Eukarya are characterized by the possession of a well defined NUCLEUS in their cells. Kingdoms in this domain include animalia, plantae and fungi.

- Kingdom animalia contains multicellular organisms that are strictly heterotrophic i.e. cannot synthesize their own food, hence, rely on other organisms for nutrition.

- Kingdom plantae contains multicellular organisms that are capable of movement but not independently i.e. they cannot move from their fixed positions.

- Kingdom Fungi includes organisms that get energy by absorbing materials in their environment via a structure called MYCELIUM.
