Which is a characteristic that distinguishes members of the
plant kingdom from members of the animal kingdom?
Select one:

A. Plants store genetic information in the nucleus of their cells

B. Plants are motile primary consumers

C. Plants are multicelular

D. Plants are autotrophic

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Plants are autotrophic

Explanation:

  • Both plants and animals are eukaryotic, meaning they contain a nucleus with genetic information, so that crosses out A.
  • I don't know what motile primary consumers are. Assuming, they're primary consumers, primary consumers are those that eat producers, so in this case, this would elminate B.
  • Both plants and animals are multicellular.
  • Plants ARE autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food. Animals, however, have to get their own food, either by hunting or scavaging.
