In which kingdom is Amoeba placed in Whittaker's classification and why?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Protista because it is unicellular eukaryotic

Correct answer: B, Protista, because Amoeba is a unicellular eukaryote. Work through the identification: Amoeba consists of one cell, but that cell has a true nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane and contains membrane-bound organelles. Therefore it is not prokaryotic. Whittaker placed many unicellular eukaryotes in Protista. A is wrong because Monera contains prokaryotes that lack a true nucleus. C is wrong because heterotrophic nutrition alone does not define fungi; Amoeba takes in food by engulfing particles, rather than absorbing nutrients through fungal hyphae. D is wrong because absence of a cell wall is not sufficient to place an organism in Animalia, and Amoeba is unicellular rather than a multicellular animal. Memory cue: one cell plus a true nucleus usually signals Protista in this classification.
