Which Group Of Organisms Includes Only Multicellular Hetotrophs

Which group of organisms contains only multicellular heterotrophs? A) protists B) bacteria C)plants or D) animals?

Pick this one:
D) animals

It's the best of the bunch. It's not quite true because there are single-celled animals in the Myxozoa group.

All organisms in Kingdom Animalia are multicellular heterotrophs.?

True. Protists are the only single celled eukaryotes.

Which kingdom include only multicellular heterotrophs?

The group of organisms that includes only multicellular heterotrophs is protists. They are a type of eukaryotic organism. Their scientific name is Protista.
So the answer is A.

Are all multicellular animals heterotrophs or not?

Yes. Only plants, algae and some bacteria are autotrophic.

Is fungi a multicellular or unicellular organism?

Must fungi are considered multicellular. However, yeast are unicellular fungi.Many biologists believe that yeast are descended from multicellular fungi. These multicellular fungi lost their multicellular structure. The yeast basically ‘reverted’ back to a unicellular state similar to the common ancestors of all fungi.

Multicellular heterotrophs without cell walls are placed in what Kingdom?

You, my friend, are a multicellular heterotroph without cell walls. You also happen to belong in the kingdom "Animalia."

Yes, all animals are multicellular heterotrophs without cell walls.

"Animals have several characteristics that set them apart from other living things. Animals are eukaryotic and mostly multicellular, which separates them from bacteria and most protists. They are heterotrophic, generally digesting food in an internal chamber, which separates them from plants and algae. They are also distinguished from plants, algae, and fungi by lacking rigid cell walls. All animals are motile,if only at certain life stages."

Which kingdoms include unicellular organisms?

It depends on the classification system you decide to follow. The most recent based of DNA analyses distinguishes 6 kingdoms of eukaryotic organisms: Ophistokonta (incl. animals, fungi etc.), Archaeplastida (incl. plants, green and red algae etc.), Chromalveolata (incl. brown algae etc.) and strictly unicellular Excavata, Rhizaria and Amoebozoa. All of them includes unicellular species. In fact, vast majority of species diversity on Earth is unicellular. Multicellular organisms represents just a few percent of species. In other words, all the living creatures you can see with your eyes represents just a few percent of total species diversity of Earth. Older system divides eukaryotic organisms into Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Chromista and Protista. All of these 5 kingdoms contain unicellular species, except for Animalia.      Note: Eukarya, Bacteria and Archea are not "kingdoms" as some people wrote. They are "domains" of life or "superkingdoms"!

A kingdom that includes only heterotrophs is...?

B. Fungi are only heterotrophs.

Not A. because the algae are protists.
Not C. because plants are autotrophs.
Not D. because cyanobacteria are eubacteria that are photosynthetic.

Which kingdom is composed of multicellular autotrophs?

This may be a bit pedantic, but the way the question is worded suggests that the asker wants to know if there exists a kingdom composed exclusively of multi-cellular organisms or at least if all multicellular organisms belong to the same kingdom.Is there a kingdom of life composed entirely of multicellular organisms? Well for the sake of this question, instead of kingdom let’s say “phyletic group” where a phyletic group is a group of organisms that share a common ancestor. So, is there a phyletic grouping of all multicellular organisms?Yes, because all multicellular organisms share a common ancestor. The three multicellular lineages (defined as kingdoms in Ruggiero et al, 2015[1] ) are well known, they are: Animalia, Fungi and Plantae. However, not all fungi are multicellular. Some fungi are content to live a unicellular lifestyle. Since not all fungi are multicellular, there is no single monophyletic group of multicellular organisms. All multicellular organisms would therefore form a paraphyletic group, since some of the fungi are unicellular.See the following reference for more information:Ruggiero MA, Gordon DP, Orrell TM, et al.
