Answer:
D. Kingdom Fungi includes organisms that get energy by absorbing materials in their environment.
Explanation:
Organisms in the domain Eukarya are characterized by the possession of a well defined NUCLEUS in their cells. Kingdoms in this domain include animalia, plantae and fungi.
– Kingdom animalia contains multicellular organisms that are strictly heterotrophic i.e. cannot synthesize their own food, hence, rely on other organisms for nutrition.
– Kingdom plantae contains multicellular organisms that are capable of movement but not independently i.e. they cannot move from their fixed positions.
– Kingdom Fungi includes organisms that get energy by absorbing materials in their environment via a structure called MYCELIUM.
