Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the characteristics of each group mentioned: Protozoa, Fungi, Algae, and Plants.
Step 2: Recall that chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, so groups that perform photosynthesis contain chlorophyll.
Step 3: Identify which groups contain chlorophyll: Algae and Plants have chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis, while Protozoa and Fungi do not.
Step 4: Consider the mode of reproduction: Fungi reproduce primarily by means of spores, whereas Protozoa reproduce mainly by binary fission or other methods.
Step 5: Conclude that the group of eukaryotic organisms that lacks chlorophyll and reproduces primarily by spores is Fungi.
