Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the similarity between Kingdom Monera, Fungi and Plantae?
A
All organisms consist of cell walls.
B
All organisms are eukaryotes.
C
All organisms are multicellular.
D
All organisms are not autotrophs.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Kingdom Fungi consist of both unicellular (e.g. Yeast, Molds) and multicellular (e.g. mushrooms) organisms. Like plant cells, fungi have cell walls made up of complex sugar molecules called chitin. But unlike plants, they do not undergo photosynthesis. The cell wall is composed of chitin.

Detailed explanation-2: -They lack cell walls and most exist as intracellular parasites of plants or animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms belonging to group Monera are primitive, unicellular and prokaryotes. They possess cell wall made up of peptidoglycan, which is in turn made of derivatives of sugar as N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid, which are covalently attached to the core protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monera, protista, fungi and plantae have cell walls.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monera (includes Eubacteria and Archeobacteria) Individuals are single-celled, may or may not move, have a cell wall, have no chloroplasts or other organelles, and have no nucleus.
