Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The newly described organism is multicellular, does not carry on photosynthesis, and absorbs nutrients from the environment. It is composed of eukaryotic cells with cell walls. In which kingdom would the organism be classified? FUNGI!!

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi are multicellular, with a cell wall, organelles including a nucleus, but no chloroplasts. They have no mechanisms for locomotion. Fungi range in size from microscopic to very large ( such as mushrooms). Nutrients are acquired by absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -Other eukaryotic cells are part of multicellular organisms. For instance, all plants and animals are made of eukaryotic cells-sometimes even trillions of them (Figure 4).

Detailed explanation-4: -Kingdom fungi include multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with the chitinous cell wall.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants are all multicellular and consist of complex cells. In addition plants are autotrophs, organisms that make their own food.
