Which of the following kingdoms consists of prokaryotic cells?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e Monera.

Monera is the kingdom that consists of prokaryotic cells, which lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. This kingdom includes bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).

Other Options:

  1. Animalia: Composed of eukaryotic cells (with a nucleus and organelles). Animals are multicellular and heterotrophic.

  2. Protista: Contains eukaryotic organisms, mostly unicellular (e.g., amoeba, algae). They are more complex than prokaryotes.

  3. Fungi: Also eukaryotic, including molds, yeasts, and mushrooms. They have chitin in their cell walls and are heterotrophic.

Monera is the only kingdom among these that is exclusively prokaryotic, making it the correct choice.
