The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is true according to the concept of biological classification, we need to analyze each provided statement based on the five-kingdom classification proposed by R.H. Whittaker in 1969. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Five Kingdoms**: - The five kingdoms are: - **Monera**: Includes all prokaryotic organisms (e.g., bacteria). - **Protista**: Contains unicellular eukaryotic organisms. - **Fungi**: Comprises heterotrophic organisms, mostly multicellular, that absorb nutrients. - **Plantae**: Encompasses multicellular, autotrophic organisms that perform photosynthesis. - **Animalia**: Consists of multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that consume organic material. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "Bacteria are heterotropic saprophytic organisms in the kingdom Monera with a great range of diversity." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect because not all bacteria are heterotrophic; some, like cyanobacteria, are autotrophic. - **Statement 2**: "The heterotropic prokaryotic multicellular organisms lacking a cell wall are included in kingdom Animalia." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. All prokaryotes, including heterotrophic ones, are classified under Monera, not Animalia. - **Statement 3**: "Kingdom Fungi includes Eukaryotic, Multicellular, Heterotropic organisms." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Fungi are primarily multicellular and heterotrophic, absorbing nutrients from their environment. - **Statement 4**: "The kingdom Plantae includes eukaryotic chlorophyll-containing unicellular organisms." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The Plantae kingdom primarily consists of multicellular organisms, although there are unicellular algae, they are not classified under Plantae. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only true statement according to the concept of biological classification is **Statement 3**: "Kingdom Fungi includes Eukaryotic, Multicellular, Heterotropic organisms." ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **"Kingdom Fungi includes Eukaryotic, Multicellular, Heterotropic organisms."**
