Question

Organism of which kingdom feed like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants?

• A. Monera
• B. Protista
• C. Mycota
• D. Animalia

Answer 1

The correct option is B Protista

Protista kingdom comprises mostly single-celled organisms such as the protozoa, simple algae and fungi, slime molds, and (formerly) the bacteria. Nutrition can vary according to the type of protist, and some have both plant and animal characteristics. Most eukaryotic algae are autotrophic, but the pigments were lost in some groups. Other protists are heterotrophic, and may present phagotrophy, osmotrophy, saprotrophy or parasitism. Some can engulf bacteria and other food particles, by extending their cell membrane around them to form a food vacuole and digesting them internally in a process termed phagocytosis .

So, the correct option is 'B'.
