BCell wall is mainly composed of cellulose

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. All members are strictly autotrophic — no parasitic or insectivorous plants exist
Plantae includes partially heterotrophic members — insectivorous plants (Bladderwort, Venus fly trap) and parasites (Cuscuta). The other three statements correctly describe Plantae: eukaryotic with chloroplasts, cellulose walls, alternation of generations.
