The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which group of organisms has a cell wall made of polysaccharides and amino acids, we can analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze Option (a) Monera - Monera includes unicellular prokaryotic organisms, primarily bacteria. - The cell wall of bacteria is primarily composed of peptidoglycan, which is a complex polysaccharide that also contains amino acids. - Therefore, this option is a strong candidate. ### Step 2: Analyze Option (b) Protista - Protista consists of a diverse group of mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms. - Some protists have cell walls made of cellulose or silica, but many do not have a cell wall at all. - Since not all protists have a cell wall, this option does not fit the criteria. ### Step 3: Analyze Option (c) Fungi - Fungi have a cell wall that primarily contains chitin, which is a polysaccharide. - However, chitin does not contain amino acids in the same way that peptidoglycan does. - Therefore, this option does not meet the requirement of having both polysaccharides and amino acids. ### Step 4: Analyze Option (d) Animalia - Animals belong to the kingdom Animalia and are characterized by the absence of a cell wall. - Since they do not have a cell wall, this option is not correct. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, the only group of organisms whose cell wall is made of polysaccharides and amino acids is Monera. Therefore, the correct answer is: **(a) Monera** ---
