biology biodiversity and classification animal classification and its benefits criteria for new system of classification five kingdoms of living organisms

  1. Plantae

  2. Monera

  3. Fungi

  4. Animalia

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Animal shows different types of body organization.
  • Animals can be radial, asymmetric and bilateral symmetric.
  • Most of the animals are triploblastic.
  • The digestive system is incomplete in some phyla and complete in rest of the phyla.
So, the correct option is 'animalia'.

  1. Eukaryotic cells without walls

  2. Multicellularity

  3. Obtaining nutrients by ingestion

  4. Storage of carbohydrates as starch

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plants store complex carbohydrates as starch and animals store them as glycogen in the muscles and liver. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles. Animals do not have a cell wall but instead, have the outermost plasma membrane or cell membrane on the exterior and with well-developed organelles enclosed in membranes (eukaryotes) and are also multicellular (being made of more than one cell) and are heterotrophic as animals cannot make their own food. 

So, the correct option is, 'Storage of carbohydrates as starch'.
