prokaryotes are not found in following kingdoms, except:

(a) Monera (b) Protoctista

(c) Animalia (d) All of these

Help please!

Multiple Post. Please refer to your later post, which I saw first.

Monera

(a) Monera

To find the correct answer, we need to understand the different kingdoms and their characteristics.

The kingdom Monera includes prokaryotic organisms, which are single-celled organisms without a distinct nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Examples of prokaryotes are bacteria and blue-green algae.

The kingdom Protoctista, also known as Protista, includes a variety of eukaryotic organisms that are mostly single-celled but can also be multicellular. Examples of protists include amoebas, algae, and slime molds.

The kingdom Animalia consists of multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic, meaning they cannot produce their own food and rely on others for nutrition. Examples of animals include humans, dogs, and cats.

Considering this information, we can eliminate option (a) Monera from the list since prokaryotes are indeed found in this kingdom.

Now, let's assess option (b) Protoctista. As discussed, protists are eukaryotes and can include both single-celled and multicellular organisms. Some protists are prokaryotic, such as blue-green algae, while others are eukaryotic. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that prokaryotes are not found in the kingdom Protoctista. Thus, we eliminate option (b).

Next, let's analyze option (c) Animalia. Animals fall under the category of eukaryotes, and specifically, multicellular eukaryotes. They do not include prokaryotes, so option (c) is correct.

Finally, we evaluate option (d) All of these. If we select this option, it implies that prokaryotes are not found in any of the mentioned kingdoms, which is incorrect. Prokaryotes are found in the kingdom Monera, as mentioned earlier.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) Animalia.
