B. Both animals and fungi lack cell walls.
C. Both plants and fungi undergo photosynthesis.
D. Like some prokaryotes, fungi are autotrophic.
any help??
To determine which statement is correct, let's review each option:
A. Both protists and fungi are eukaryotic.
To verify this statement, we can look up the definitions of protists and fungi. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, while fungi are also eukaryotic organisms. Therefore, statement A is correct.
B. Both animals and fungi lack cell walls.
To determine if this statement is correct or not, we need to confirm whether animals and fungi lack cell walls. Animals do not have cell walls, but fungi do. Therefore, statement B is incorrect.
C. Both plants and fungi undergo photosynthesis.
To determine if this statement is correct, we need to understand the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. While plants undergo photosynthesis, fungi obtain their energy through other means, such as decomposing organic matter. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.
D. Like some prokaryotes, fungi are autotrophic.
To verify this statement, we need to determine if fungi are autotrophic like some prokaryotes. Autotrophic organisms can produce their own energy through processes like photosynthesis. However, fungi are not autotrophic, as they obtain their energy from organic matter. Therefore, statement D is incorrect.
Based on our analysis, the correct answer is option A: Both protists and fungi are eukaryotic.
