Question: 1 / 400

The ability to perform photosynthesis is present in which of the following kingdoms?

Fungi

Monera

Plantae

Photosynthesis is a process that allows plants to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. This process is carried out by organelles called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis. Kingdom Plantae consists of all plants, which possess chloroplasts and are capable of photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Fungi (option A) are heterotrophic organisms that do not possess chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis. Monera (option B) consists of bacteria and cyanobacteria, which can perform photosynthesis but do not have chloroplasts. Protista (option D) includes a variety of organisms such as algae, some of which can perform photosynthesis, but not all members of this kingdom have the ability to do so.
