Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The mode of nutrition found in fungi is Saprotrophic nutrition

Explanation:

• Fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophic creatures.
• Some of them feed on decomposing organic matter and are hence known as saprotrophs.
• Others feed on the live protoplasm of a host organism. They are known as parasites.
• A saprophyte is an organism that absorbs soluble organic substances from non-living organic materials, typically dead and decaying plant or animal matter.
• They produce digestive fluids on dead and decaying stuff, converting it into a solution and digesting the nutrients in it.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Parasitic nutrition

Parasitic nutrition is a type of nutrition in which organisms live on or inside the host's body and obtain sustenance from them.

Holozoic nutrition

Holozoic nutrition is the process of nourishment that occurs in organisms that consume solid or liquid food. Amoeba consumes holozoic food.

Autotrophic nutrition

• Autotrophic nutrition is the mode of nutrition in which the organism, such as plants, makes its own nourishment.
• Fungi are unable to prepare their own nourishment.
