Mention the characteristics (any two ) of any three kingdoms​

Answer»

Kingdom Plantae:Kingdom Plantae includes green, brown and red algae, liverworts, mosses, ferns and seed plants with or without flowers. They have the following characteristics:    They are multicellular organisms with walled and frequently vacuolate eukaryotic cells.    These CONTAIN photosynthetic pigment in plastids. The principle mode of nutrition is photosynthesis.    They are primarily non-motile and live anchored to a substrate.    Reproduction is primarily asexual or sexual. The reproductive organs are multicellular. They form a multicellular embryo during development from the zygote. Algae lack the embryo stage.    The life cycle CONSISTS of alternating haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte generation. This phenomenon is called the alternation of generation. Characteristics of members of kingdom Animalia are:They are multicellular organisms which do not possess chlorophyll.They are eukaryotic organisms.Cell wall is absent.Mode of nutrition is heterotrophic i.e. they depend on other organisms for food.They have muscle cells due to which they have the capability to contract and relax the body parts.Reproduction is sexual. However, asexual reproduction is ALSO found in lower forms.During development, multicellular embryo is FORMED from the zygote.They require OXYGEN for aerobic respiration.Characteristics of Fungi:    Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.    They may be unicellular or filamentous.    They reproduce by means of spores.    Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.    Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.    Fungi store their food in the form of starch.    Biosynthesis of chitin occurs in fungi.    The nuclei of the fungi are very small.    The fungi have no embryonic stage. They develop from the spores.    The mode of reproduction is sexual or asexual.    Some fungi are parasitic and can infect the host.    Fungi produce a chemical called pheromone which leads to sexual reproduction in fungi.    Examples include mushrooms, moulds, yeast.
