Question

True or false/ kingdom fungi and kingdom plantae both contain autotrophs

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

• Autotrophic organisms are capable of synthesizing their own food and nutrition by harnessing sunlight and water.
• Along with the entire kingdom Plantae and the following organisms are autotrophs:

1. Algae
2. Cyanobacteria  
3. Seaweed
4. Phytoplankton

• Fungi are heterotrophs, particularly of saprophytic nature. This means that they release enzymes on organic matter. These enzymes digest the organic matter into nutrients that the fungus can then utilize.
