A. Membrane-bound Nuclei
B. Multicellularity
C. Cell walls made from sugars
D. Autotrophy

F. Heterotrophy

Answer 1

Multicellularity

Autotrophy

Membrane-bound Nuclei

Step-by-step explanation:

This kingdom of plantae comprises of the more familiar green plants. They are multicellular organisms which contain the green light-trapping pigment called chlorophyll. They make their own food from carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts using sunlight energy, a process called photosynthesis. Thus plants are said to autotrophic.
