Which kingdoms have some organisms that can make their own food (autotrophic )?
A
Plantae and Animalia
B
Fungi and Plantae
C
Protista and Plantae
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These are Eukaryotic, Multicellular organisms with a cell wall that is made up of cellulose. They are autotrophs and synthesize their own food through the process of photosynthesis. This kingdom includes all plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the kingdom Plantae, the organisms are referred to as plants and are also very complex. Plants are autotrophs, since they make their own food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some make their own food, but most take in or absorb food. Most protists move with the help of flagella, pseudopods, or cilia. Some protists, like the one-celled amoeba and paramecium, feed on other organisms. Others, such as the one-celled euglena or the many-celled algae, make their food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -For classification, the protists are divided into three groups: Animal-like protists, which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move. Plant-like protists, which are autotrophs that photosynthesize. Fungi-like protists, which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and reproduce by forming spores.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final Answer: Multicellular autotrophs are included in the kingdom Plantae.
