Question

Leslie argues that an organism called a Euglena is a plant because it is eukaryotic, has a nucleus, makes its own food, and is unicellular.
Where is Leslie’s error?

Plants do not make their own food.
Plants are multicellular.
Plants are prokaryotic.
Plants do not have a nucleus.

Answer 1

Error: Plants are multicellular.
Explanation: Protoctists are known as the dustbin kingdom because they can’t be classified as plants, animals or fungi and they are mostly unicellular microorganisms. Some are known to be more plant-like while others are known to be more animal-like.Euglena is not a plant because it’s a plant-like protoctist.
