Which kingdom does not move or contain chlorophyll and therefore cannot make their own food?

The Fungi Kingdom does not move or produce chlorophyll, so they cannot make their own food. They feed off of other\ things. For example, mold grows on foods and feeds off of that food.

Does fungi not have chlorophyll?
They cannot make their own food without chlorophyll, so they need to absorb other plants' food
Why can mushrooms not photosynthesis with explanation?
they do not contain chlorophyll, so they cannot absorb light energy for phtosynthesis
Is a green pigment found in plant cells is called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants. Chlorophyll is found in cyanobacteria and it is found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae.
Why is there no virus kingdom?
A virus isn't alive it cannot reproduce without invading a 'host cell' therefore it does not fit the criteria of a life form and cannot belong to a biological kingdom.
Why do plants also contain accessory pigments?
Additional pigment in plants, other than chlorophyll, enable these to utilize maximum solar radiations. For example carotene and xanthophylls absorb those radiations which remain inaccessible to chlorophyll a & b.
Which of these don't move or contain chlorophyll and therefore cannot make their own?
The Fungi Kingdom
What does not contain chlorophyll that cannot make own food?
Animals and humans do not contain chlorophyll and can not make their own food!

Does a fungus have chlorophyll?
Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone. Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone.
Why are roots not green?
As roots grow underground they have no access to light so cannot manufacture Chlorophyll therefore they are white not green.
Is a green pigment found in plant cells is called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants. Chlorophyll is found in cyanobacteria and it is found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae.
Does bacteria have chloropyll?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment which plants use to absorb sunlight. They use the energy of light to make food in the process called photosynthesis. Most bacteria cannot carry out photosynthesis and so do not contain chlorophyll. However some bacteria can photosynthesise, but they contain a slightly different version of chlorophyll called bacteriochlorophyll. These bacteria are called cyanobacteria or (confusingly) blue-green algae.
How do mushroom get their nutrients?
Mushrooms are not part of the plant kingdom, but are in a separate group called fungi.As fungi are not green, but usually a white or grey colour, they do not contain chlorophyll, and so they cannot photosynthesise.Mushrooms and other fungi have to get their nutrients from dead and decaying plants.They suck the nutrients out of other plants around them.
What Does chlorophyll not absorb?
Chlorophyll does not absorb the color green. For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.
Why are fungi not able to carry out photosynthesis?
In order to photosynthesis a plant needs a substance called chlorophyll, which helps produce sugars from sunlight (as a catalyst) water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Chlorophyll is a vivid green in colour and is present in the cells of all plants giving plants their green colour. Although growing in the ground like a plant, mushrooms are not ppart of the plant kingdom, but are in a separate group called fungi which includes mushrooms, toadstools, moulds and yeasts. As fungi are not green, but usually a white or grey colour, they do not contain chlorophyll, and so they cannot photosynthesise as they don't have this substance necessary for photosynthesis. Instead, mushrooms and other fungi have to get their nutrients from dead and decaying plants which is why you often see fungus growing on dead wood in forests.
Why is there no virus kingdom?
A virus isn't alive it cannot reproduce without invading a 'host cell' therefore it does not fit the criteria of a life form and cannot belong to a biological kingdom.
