Which characteristic best indicates that the organism in question is a fungus, not a plant?

a)
cell walls

b)
eukaryotic

c)
heterotrophic

d)
usually multicellular

The correct answer is-

C)  heterotrophic

Plants and fungi both are eukaryotic organisms ( having true nucleus and membrane bound sub-cellular organelles) but both form different kingdoms.

Plants can synthesize their own food through photosynthesis ( formation of food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight). They are therefore called autotrophs.

On the contrary, fungi can not syntheisize their own food and called heterotrophs as they depend on external sources ( such as living organisms or dead and decayed organic matter).

Thus, option D) indicates that the organism in question is a fungus, not a plant.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
