I am a multicellular, photosynthetic, marine organism with motile sperm cells. My cell wall is made of cellulose. I grow very fast and live my adult life attached to rocks being pounded by waves. What Kingdom am I in?
A
Fungi
B
Plantae
C
Protista
D
Animalia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -BACKGROUND: Brown algae are multicellular photosynthetic marine organisms living on rocky shores across the globe and representing one of the most developmentally complex groups within the eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motile sperms are seen in bryophytes, and pteridophytes, and some of the gymnosperms like ginkgo, and cycads possess motile male gametes. Cycas contains the largest motile male gamete in Kingdom Plantae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Euglena is a genus of unicellular, freshwater organisms that are very common in ponds and small bodies of water, especially if they are rich in nutrients and consequently high in algae (aka ‘pond scum’). As noted below, Euglena itself is sometimes photosynthetic and is a component of the green sludge in such ponds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The kingdoms that include both unicellular and multicellular organisms are Protista and Fungi. Unicellular organisms are made of only one cell, while multicellular organisms are made of many cells. Protists and fungi are all made of eukaryotic cells.
