Question

What is NOT a major characteristic found in the Kingdom Fungi ?
A. they produce spores B. they have rigid cell walls C. they are multinucleate D. they contain chlorophyll E. None of the previous

Answer 1

ANSWER:

D. they contain chlorophyll E

They are heterotrophs and contain neither photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophylls nor organelles such as chloroplast. External enzymes digest nutrients that are absorbed by the body of the fungus called a thallus.

Wrong answers

A. they produce spores (Fungi reproduce sexually and/or asexually. ... In both sexual and asexual reproduction, fungi produce spores that disperse from the parent organism by either floating on the wind or hitching a ride on an animal. Fungal spores are smaller and lighter than plant seeds)

B. they have rigid cell walls (Like plant cells, fungal cells have a thick cell wall. The rigid layers of fungal cell walls contain complex polysaccharides called chitin and glucans. Chitin, also found in the exoskeleton of insects, gives structural strength to the cell walls of fungi.)

C. they are multinucleate (Fungi contain unicellular, multinucleate, and multicellular forms. They are classified on the basis of their reproductive spores and the nature of their multinucleate or multicellular filaments known as hyphae. Fungal cells have cell walls containing the carbohydrate chitin).
