NEET (UG) 2025 — Question 123
Each of the following characteristics represent a Kingdom proposed by Whittaker. Arrange the following in increasing order of complexity of body organization.
A. Multicellular heterotrophs with cell wall made of chitin.
B. Heterotrophs with tissue/organ/organ system level of body organization.
C. Prokaryotes with cell wall made of polysaccharides and amino acids.
D. Eukaryotic autotrophs with tissue/organ level of body organization.
E. Eukaryotes with cellular body organization.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Option A:
A, C, E, B, D
- Option B:Correct
C, E, A, D, B
- Option C:
A, C, E, D, B
- Option D:
C, E, A, B, D
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
Whittaker's five-kingdom classification organizes organisms based on complexity and organization levels. The
arrangement follows: molecular heterotrophs → tissue/organ systems → cell wall polysaccharides → tissue/organ
level → cellular organization.
