Amoeba belongs to which kingdom______________?
Correct answer: D. Protista
- A. Prokaryotae
- B. Plantae
- C. Monera
- D. Protista
Explanation
Amoeba is a unicellular eukaryote classified in Kingdom Protista because it has a true nucleus and lacks the specialized organization of plants, animals or fungi. Prokaryotae and Monera refer to prokaryotic organisms without a membrane-bound nucleus. Students may choose c because Amoeba is microscopic, but microscopic size does not make an organism a moneran.
