The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the wrong statement, we will analyze each provided statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Mushrooms belong to the class of Basidiomycetes.** - This statement is **correct**. Mushrooms are indeed classified under the kingdom Fungi and the class Basidiomycetes. A common example is Agaricus, which is a type of mushroom. 2. **Statement 2: Pseudopodia are the locomotory and feeding structures in sporozoans.** - This statement is **incorrect**. Pseudopodia are actually the locomotory and feeding structures found in protozoans like Amoeba, not in sporozoans. Sporozoans, which are a group of parasitic protozoans, do not have pseudopodia. 3. **Statement 3: Cell wall is present in members of the fungi and plantae.** - This statement is **correct**. Both fungi and plants have cell walls. The cell wall in fungi is primarily composed of chitin, while in plants, it is made of cellulose. 4. **Statement 4: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell in all kingdoms except Monera.** - This statement is **correct**. Mitochondria are indeed known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce ATP through cellular respiration, and they are absent in Monera (which includes bacteria). ### Conclusion: The wrong statement is **Statement 2: Pseudopodia are the locomotory and feeding structures in sporozoans.**
