Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Most photosynthetic organisms are contained within which two kingdoms?
A
Plantae and Protista
B
Eubacteria and Fungi
C
Animalia and Fungi
D
Animalia and Plantae
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Plantae’.

Detailed explanation-2: -In terms of organisms, photosynthesis occurs in autotrophes that contain the green pigment chlorophyll. This would include the entire plant kingdom, “half” of the Protista (the algae), & “half” the Moneran Kingdom (the blue-green algae). On the multicellular level, photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, protists are microscopic, unicellular organisms, though some (like seaweed) are large and multicellular. Some protists (such as algae) are photosynthetic and can make their own food, while others are heterotrophic and seek out food sources in their external environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Leaves are sites of photosynthesis The cells in a middle layer of leaf tissue called the mesophyll are the primary site of photosynthesis. Small pores called stomata-singular, stoma-are found on the surface of leaves in most plants, and they let carbon dioxide diffuse into the mesophyll layer and oxygen diffuse out.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kingdom Plantae is comprised of all multicellular plants found on land and water. The members of this kingdom are eukaryotic and photosynthetic.
