Question

Pick up the wrong statement.

• A. Some fungi are edible
• B. Nuclear membrane is present in Monera.
• C. Cell wall is absent in Animalia.
• D. Protists have photosynthetic and het- erotrophic modes of nutrition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the incorrect statement, we need to analyze each option based on biological knowledge about cellular structures and characteristics of different kingdoms in the classification of life.

1. Some fungi are edible: This is a correct statement. Many fungi, such as mushrooms, are known to be edible and are consumed by humans worldwide.
2. Nuclear membrane is present in Monera: This is an incorrect statement. The kingdom Monera consists of prokaryotic organisms (like bacteria), which do not have a true nucleus or a nuclear membrane. Instead, their genetic material is present in a nucleoid region.
3. Cell wall is absent in Animalia: This is a correct statement. Animals do not have cell walls; their cells are bound by a plasma membrane only, which allows for a variety of cellular shapes and functions.
4. Protists have photosynthetic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition: This is a correct statement. Protists are a diverse group of organisms, and they can obtain nutrition through various means, including photosynthesis (like algae) and heterotrophic methods (like protozoa).

After analyzing each statement, it is clear that "Nuclear membrane is present in Monera" is the incorrect statement, as Monera lacks a nuclear membrane. Thus, the correct answer is this option.
