To identify the kingdoms based on the given characteristics, we need to match each description with the appropriate biological kingdom.

  1. Multicellular, eukaryotic, autotrophic, and has a cell wall comprised of cellulose:

    • The answer is the Plant Kingdom.
    • Explanation: Plants are multicellular organisms that have eukaryotic cells. They are autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Their cell walls are made of cellulose, which provides structural support.
  2. Multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic, and lacks a cell wall:

    • The answer is the Animal Kingdom.
    • Explanation: Animals are multicellular and have eukaryotic cells. They are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their food by consuming other organisms. Unlike plants and fungi, animal cells do not have cell walls.
  3. Multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic, and has a cell wall comprised of chitin:

    • The answer is the Fungi Kingdom.
    • Explanation: Fungi are multicellular (with some exceptions like yeast) and have eukaryotic cells. They are heterotrophic, obtaining nutrients through absorption. Their cell walls are made of chitin, distinguishing them from plants.

In summary, the kingdoms identified are:

  1. Plant Kingdom
  2. Animal Kingdom
  3. Fungi Kingdom
