Answer:
D. Fungi
Explanation:
Fungi does not contain the green pigment chlorophyll and therefore are incapable of photosynthesis.
The clade Ecdysozoa includes <u>8</u> phyla, of which you will be observing only two in this week's lab.
<h3>What is Ecdysozoa?</h3>
- Arthropoda (insects, chelicerata, crustaceans, and myriapods), Nematoda, and a few other minor phyla are all included in the group of protostome creatures known as Ecdysozoa (/kdsozo/).
- Aguinaldo etal. provided the initial definition of them in 1997, largely based on phylogenetic trees generated with the use of 18S ribosomal RNA genes.
- The Ecdysozoa were firmly supported as a clade in a sizable study conducted in 2008 by Dunn etal.
- A clade is a group made up of all the descendants of a common ancestor.
- All animals that grow by ecdysis, or moulting their cuticle, are included in this group, which is also supported by morphological characteristics.
<h3>What is phyla?</h3>
- A phylum is a taxonomic rank or degree of classification in biology that comes before a kingdom and after a class (/falm/; plural: phyla).
- Phylum and division are similar terms according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungus, and plants, but division has historically been used in botany instead of phylum.
- Depending on definitions, there are between 31 and 14 phyla in the plant kingdom Plantae, 8 phyla in the fungus kingdom Fungi, and roughly 31 phyla in the animal kingdom Animalia.
- The links between phyla, which are housed in more expansive clades like Ecdysozoa and Embryophyta, are currently being revealed via phylogenetic studies.
