The characteristics that can be true about the plant kingdom are:

  • Autotroph: Plants are primarily autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis.
  • Multicellular: Most plants are multicellular organisms.
  • Cellulose cell walls: Plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose, which provides structure and support.

The following characteristics are not true for the plant kingdom:

  • Chitin cell walls: Chitin is found in the cell walls of fungi, not plants.
  • Heterotroph: Plants are not heterotrophs; they do not obtain food from consuming other organisms but rather synthesize their own food.

So the true characteristics about the plant kingdom from your list are: Autotroph, Multicellular, and Cellulose cell walls.
