Question:

Pick up the wrong statement. Nuclear membrane is present in Monera. Cell wall is absent in Animalia. Protista have photosynthetic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition. Some fungi are edible.

Nuclear membrane is present in Monera.

Cell wall is absent in Animalia.

Some fungi are edible.

Protista have photosynthetic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition.

Solution:

Monera is a unicellular organism with prokaryotic cell arrangement i.e, it doesn't have a well defined nuclear membrane-bound nucleus and cell organelles. Animal cells do not have cell walls because they do not need them, the cell wall is present in plant cells. Kingdom Protista are eukaryotes and they exhibit different modes of nutrition, such as some of the organisms falls under protistans are photosynthetic autotrophs (produce their own food with the help of sunlight), some others are heterotrophs (depends on other organisms for food). Fungi are eukaryotes, they make spores and they are non-green plants. Fungi like edible mushrooms have some of the better potent medicinal properties, from fighting cancer and heart disease. So, the correct answer is option A.
