Filamentous organisms with organelles and cell walls but no chloroplasts are characteristic of fungi, which belong to the domain Eukarya and the kingdom Fungi. Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotic organisms and do not have organelles or cell walls like eukaryotic organisms. Plants have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and protists can have different characteristics depending on the specific organism.
