Question

How these fungi obtain nutrition?
a) by eating the hecad on which it is growing

(b) by using nutrients from the bread to prepare their own food

(c) by breaking down the nutrients of bread and then abuse them

(d)by allowing other organisms to grow on the bread and then consuming them​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fungi get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from the environment. ... They decompose dead organic matter. A saprotroph is an organism that obtains its nutrients from non-living organic matter, usually dead and decaying plant or animal matter, by absorbing soluble organic compounds.

Answer 2

Fungi obtain nutrition (c) by breaking down the nutrients of bread and then abuse them.

Explanation:

• Fungi obtain their food by absorbing organic substances from their surroundings. Fungi are heterotrophic, meaning that their metabolism and nourishment are entirely reliant on carbon from other species.
• Fungi have evolved in such a way that they can grow on a wide range of organic substrates, including simple molecules like nitrate, ammonia, acetate and ethanol. The role of fungi in their environment is determined by their manner of nourishment.
• Fungal hyphae have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, they are designed to efficiently absorb nutrients from their surroundings. The release of hydrolytic enzymes, which break down large organic molecules like polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids into smaller molecules, complements these adaptations.
