Question

According to Whittaker's classification which of these is the correct match?

Kingdoms	Features
A. Fungi	1. Non-nucleated organisms
B. Plant protista	2. Saprophytic organisms
C. Animal protista	3. Holozoic organisms
D. Monera	4. Saprozoic organisms
	5. Autotrophic organisms

• A. A- 4, B- 5, C- 3, D- 1
• B. A- 2, B- 5, C- 3, D- 1
• C. A- 2, B- 3, C- 4, D- 5
• D. A- 2, B- 3, C- 5, D- 1

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A- 2, B- 5, C- 3, D- 1

• A- 2: Fungi members are the organisms that are heterotrophic, more specifically saprophytic organisms that feed on the dead matter.
• B- 5: The plant protists are organisms that possess chlorophyll pigments and can perform photosynthesis. These are known as autotrophic organisms.
• C- 3: The animal-like protists are the organisms that depend on the other organisms for food. These are known as holozoic organisms which can directly engulf the food material which is available in the environment.
• D- 1: The organisms which are placed under the kingdom monera have prokaryotic cell structure. The prokaryotes are unicellular, non-nucleated cells. These cells do not have membrane-bound structures.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
