Many people get confused and think that fungi (like mushrooms and molds) are in the same kingdom as plants, but fungi are different from plants because fungi are-
autotrophic
unicellular
heterotrophic
prokaryotic
Euglena are classified as plant-like protists because -
they can live in the water
they have endospores
they have structures similar to roots on plants
they can produce their own food through photosynthesis
For an organism to be classified as an animal, it must have which of the following characteristics?

Archaebateria and Eubacteria are the only two kingdoms where the organisms do not have -
cell walls
a nucleus
flagella
