Question

select the wrong statement.
A) Pseudopodia are locomotory and feeding structures in sporozoans.
B) Cell wall is present in members of fungi and Plantae
C) Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell in all kingdom except Monera
D) Mushrooms belong to basidiomycetes

Answer 1

Amoeba is a single-celled Protozoa. It exhibits almost all metabolic processes of an organism. It has no shape.

Complete answer:
Option A: Pseudopodia are locomotory and feeding structure in sporozoans. : pseudopodia are the finger-like projections and are the locomotory organs of protozoans for example Amoeba. All living organisms are characterized based on the complexity of the structure of their cells into two groups that are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Amoeba is a eukaryotic organism. Amoeba, Protista are the most common species found on decaying the bottom vegetation of Ponds and freshwater streams. Amoeba moves by pseudopodia. Pseudopodia are also used to capture food. Pseudodium wraps around the food molecule and forms of food vacuole around it. A digestive enzyme secreted in the food vacuole. Amoeba can move in all directions using false feet called pseudopodia. It can change its shape with the help of these pseudopodia to exhibit locomotion.
Option B: Cell wall is present in members of fungi and Plantae: Cell wall is present in the members of both Kingdom fungi and Plantae. Fungi have a cell wall made up of chitin and fungal cellulose in some members while the plant cell wall is made up of cellulose and hemicellulose.
Option C: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell in all kingdoms except Monera: Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell because these are associated with cellular respiration and formation of the energy currency of the cell that is ATP molecules. Mitochondria is present only in eukaryotes and absent in prokaryotes that are in the member of Kingdom Monera.
Option D: Mushrooms belong to basidiomycetes: Mushrooms belong to the class agaricomycetes of kingdom fungi. For example, Agaricus.

Thus, the answer is option A: pseudopodia are locomotory and feeding structure in sporozoans.

Note: Pseudopodia helps in locomotion as well as capturing food. A food vacuole is the storage unit for Amoeba and it is only formed when the food is engulfed.
