According to Whittaker's system, mushrooms are classified into which kingdom?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Fungi

Correct answer: C, Kingdom Fungi. Begin with the key idea: classification uses important cellular and nutritional features. Mushrooms do not contain chlorophyll, so they cannot make food by photosynthesis. Their body is made of fungal filaments, and they obtain nutrients by secreting enzymes onto organic material and absorbing the simpler substances formed. Therefore, they are heterotrophic absorbers and belong to Fungi. A is wrong because Protista mainly includes many unicellular eukaryotes. B is wrong because Plantae generally contains chlorophyll-bearing, photosynthetic organisms, although not every plant-related form fits that simple rule. D is wrong because Monera contains prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria, whereas mushrooms are eukaryotic. Memory cue: no chlorophyll plus absorptive nutrition points to Fungi.
