Organisms of which of the following kingdom have absorptive mode of nutrition______________?
Correct answer: D. Fungi
- A. Prokaryotae
- B. Protoctista
- C. Animalia
- D. Fungi
Explanation
Fungi use absorptive nutrition: they secrete digestive enzymes onto their food and absorb the soluble products through their hyphae. Animals ingest food before digesting it internally, so they do not have the characteristic absorptive mode of fungi. Students may choose Animalia because animals absorb digested nutrients, confusing absorption with the whole nutritional method.

About Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and complex membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, specialized organelles and a cytoskeleton. Comparisons include DNA organization, ribosomes, cell walls, size, division and examples such as bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, plants and animals.
