Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.

Use the table of the five kingdoms. (a) Which kingdoms can have autotrophic members? (b) Which kingdom has organ systems? (c) In how many kingdoms does every member have a cell wall? (d) In how many kingdoms are all the members heterotrophic?
