Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'heterotrophic': Heterotrophic organisms cannot produce their own food and must obtain energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter.
Review the characteristics of Kingdom Protista: This kingdom includes both autotrophic (photosynthetic) and heterotrophic organisms, so it does not exclusively consist of heterotrophs.
Examine Kingdom Animalia: All organisms in this kingdom are heterotrophic, as animals rely on consuming other organisms for energy.
Analyze Kingdom Plantae: Plants are autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis, so this kingdom does not fit the criteria.
Consider Kingdom Fungi: Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter, but they are not the only kingdom with heterotrophs. Kingdom Animalia exclusively includes heterotrophic organisms.
