Question

13. The term that is used for the mode of nutrition in yeast, mushroom and
bread-mould is
(a) autotrophic
(b) insectivorous
(c) saprophytic
(d) parasitic​

Answer 1

Answer:

Saprophytes live and feed on the dead organic remains of other organisms (eg. Fungi like Rhizopus, Yeast and Penicillium).

Parasites live and feed on a live host, causing harm to the host (eg. Mildew on cucumber, tapeworms in humans).

In a symbiotic relation, two organisms live in close association with each other where one of them gets benefitted while the other has either some benefit or a neutral effect (eg. Algae and fungi associated as lichens).

Autotrophic nutrition is the production of own food using water, light and carbon dioxide (eg. green plants).
