whih of the following groups is best charactrized as being eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic, and without a cell wall?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the "following groups"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you give me the options, I can walk you through it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. plantae b. animalia c. fungi d. viruses d. monera

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, so let's start with the cell wall. We can take out any options that HAVE a cell wall, since the question asks for something that DOESN'T. Do you know which type of cell has a cell wall?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep! So we can eliminate that one. OK, so next, how about multicellular? Are any of these options unicellular?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well fungi can be uni or multi. monera is uni

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its either fungi or viruses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or animalia, don't forget that one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But then heterotrophic takes out viruses as an option, because viruses are considered non-living, and in order to be heterotrophic, you have to be alive. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah, i forgot about that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wither fungi or animalia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. Which one do you think would make most sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

animalia?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that's what I would say. Because, like you said, fungi can be unicellular or multicellular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOh whoops! And also, I'm pretty sure that fungi have cell walls! So that would take them out of the possibilities anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well yayyyyy! :) haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great job! You did an awesome job working through it and narrowing it down! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well thanks! :) im having my AP test not this monday but the next and have a bunch of review questions to answer :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhh that sounds scary! But I bet you'll do great! Well let me know if there's anything else I can do to help! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks! :)
