Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'heterotrophs': Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms or organic substances for energy. Examples include animals, fungi, and some protists.
Review the characteristics of each kingdom: Fungi, Animalia, Protista, and Plantae. Identify which kingdoms contain heterotrophs and which do not.
Fungi: Members of this kingdom are heterotrophs because they obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter.
Animalia: All members of this kingdom are heterotrophs, as they consume other organisms for energy.
Plantae: This kingdom primarily consists of autotrophs, organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Therefore, Plantae does NOT contain heterotrophs.
