Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an organism has a chloroplast can you figure out which kingdom it belongs to?
A
Yes Plantae
B
No, Protista or Plantae
C
No, Animalia or Plantae
D
Yes, Fungi
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the defining function of most autotrophic organisms. In the plantae kingdom, chloroplasts host this function and ensure growth. However, these organelles are very sensitive to stressful conditions and the photosynthetic process can cause photooxidative damage if not perfectly regulated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plantae. Plants are multicellular and most don’t move, although gametes of some plants move using cilia or flagella. Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present, and cell walls are present.

Detailed explanation-3: -Euglena are unicellular organisms classified into the Kingdom Protista, and the Phylum Euglenophyta. All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
