{'plant kingdom': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'animal kingdom': [1, 1, 1, 1], 'subgroups': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'chlorophyll': [5, 0, 1, 4], 'own food': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'cellulose': [2, 1, 2, 0]}

The animal kingdom is a subgroup of living things that includes organisms with certain characteristics. In this case, we are looking for the option that does not correctly describe animals.

Option 1 states that animals cannot make their own food. This is correct. Animals are heterotrophs, meaning they rely on consuming other organisms for energy rather than producing their own through photosynthesis.

Option 2 states that the body of animals contains cellulose. This is incorrect. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants, not animals.

Option 3 states that animals do not have chlorophyll. This is correct. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis. Animals do not have chlorophyll as they do not carry out photosynthesis.

Option 4 states that animals migrate from one place to another. This is correct. Many animals undertake long-distance movements for various reasons such as finding food, reproducing, or escaping extreme weather conditions.

In summary, the correct answer is Option 2 as cellulose is not present in the body of animals.
