Question

A researcher observes cells from a multicellular organism under the microscope. The cells appear to have cell walls, but lack chloroplasts. He identifies the cells as belonging to Kingdom Fungi. Is his identification correct

Answer 1

His identification is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mycelium, the body of a fungus is multicellular. The mycelium is made of many hypha. Each cell of a hypha possesses cell wall but lack chloroplast. The cell wall is made of chitin, a type of polysaccharides not made of cellulose as in green plant cells. Due to lack of chloroplast, fungi are heterotrophs.
