Question

The mode of nutrition found in fungi is:
(a) Parasitic nutrition
(b) Holozoic nutrition
(c) Autotrophic nutrition
(d) Saprotrophic nutrition

Answer 1

Answer:

SAPROPHYTIC

Explanation:

they absorb nutrients from dead and decaying organic matter

Answer 2

The mode of nutrition found in fungi is Saprotrophic.

• In saprotrophic nutrition, organisms feed on dead and decaying matter. It is a form of extracellular digestion since the organism secretes digestive juices in its surroundings. Example: Fungus like mushrooms, animals like Millipedes.
• Holozoic nutrition is the one in which the organism ingests food in the solid or liquid phase which is then processed in its body. Example: Humans
• Green plants and some bacteria show the autotrophic mode of nutrition. they can be photoautotroph or chemoautotroph.
• Parasites feed on living organisms. They live in (endoparasites) or on (ectoparasites) the body of their hosts.
