Which of the following is NOT a proper description of the taxonomic group listed?

Archaea: single-celled, prokaryotic, can withstand extreme temperatures and salinity

Bacteria: single-celled, prokaryotic, are covered with a sticky capsule for adhering to other surfaces, contain a circular chromosome, reproduce only asexually

Protists: autotrophic or heterotrophic, capable of independent movement, reproduce sexually or asexually, eukaryotic

Fungi: heterotrophic, can be single-celled or multicellular, sessile, saprobes, can reproduce sexually or asexually, eukaryotic

Plantae: autotrophic, sessile, reproduce only asexually, eukaryotic

Plantae: autotrophic, sessile, reproduce only asexually, eukaryotic

Explanation / Answer

Among the following the one description about the taxonomic group is incorrect. The incorrect description is about the plantae. This is because plantae are the eukaryotic, autotrophic, sessile, multicellular organisms, which mostly reproduces by sexual reproduction and can even reproduce asexually. In the given case, it is described that plants reproduce only by asexual reproduction.

Hence, the last plantae description is incorrect.
