A group of scientists discovered a new organism with the following characteristics: Eukaryotic Nonvascular Reproduces by sp
ores Heterotrophic Cell walls contain chitin. Based on these characteristics, in what kingdom should this new organism be classified? Animalia
Fungi
Plantae
Protista
The giveaway here is chitin: that is a component of cell walls unique to fungi. All of the other characteristics listed would also be consistent with those of a fungus.
Thus, the fungi kingdom would be the most appropriate classification.
