The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which kingdom includes phototrophs, chemotrophs, and heterotrophs in a 5-kingdom classification system, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Phototrophs**: Organisms that obtain energy from light (e.g., plants, some bacteria). - **Chemotrophs**: Organisms that obtain energy from chemical compounds (e.g., some bacteria). - **Heterotrophs**: Organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on other organisms (e.g., animals, fungi). 2. **Identify the Kingdoms**: - In the 5-kingdom classification system, the kingdoms are: 1. **Monera**: Prokaryotic organisms, mostly unicellular (e.g., bacteria). 2. **Protista**: Eukaryotic organisms that are not animals, plants, or fungi; can be unicellular or multicellular. 3. **Fungi**: Eukaryotic organisms that absorb nutrients from organic materials; mostly multicellular. 4. **Plantae**: Multicellular organisms that perform photosynthesis. 5. **Animalia**: Multicellular organisms that are heterotrophic. 3. **Analyze the Characteristics of Each Kingdom**: - **Kingdom Monera** includes all unicellular organisms, which can be phototrophs (e.g., cyanobacteria), chemotrophs (e.g., nitrifying bacteria), and heterotrophs (e.g., certain bacteria). - **Kingdom Protista** includes some phototrophs (e.g., algae) and heterotrophs (e.g., protozoa), but not chemotrophs. - **Kingdom Fungi** consists mainly of heterotrophs. - **Kingdom Plantae** consists of phototrophs only. - **Kingdom Animalia** consists of heterotrophs only. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the question asks for a kingdom that includes phototrophs, chemotrophs, and heterotrophs, the only kingdom that fits all three categories is **Kingdom Monera**. ### Final Answer: The kingdom that includes phototrophs, chemotrophs, and heterotrophs in a 5-kingdom classification system is **Kingdom Monera**.
