Which of the following characters belong to the Kingdom Monera?
Eukaryotic
Heterotrophic
Multicellular
Presence of cell walls made of cellulose
Presence of cell walls made of cellulose
B.
Heterotrophic
The vast majority of bacteria in Kingdom- Monera are heterotrophs, that is, they depend on other organisms or on dead organic matter for food. Some bacteria are also autotrophic, that is, they synthesize their own food from inorganic substrates. They may be photosynthetic autotrophic or chemosynthetic autotrophic.
