Question

the mode of nutrition found in fungi is a.parasitic b.autotrophic c.holozoic d.saprotrophic nutrition​

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) SAPROPHYTIC NUTRTITION..

Explanation:

Fungi are unable to make their own food material, so they depend on other organisms. They are either saprophytes or parasites. Fungi obtain nutrients from dead, organic matter, hence they are called saprophytes. ... This is defined as the saprophytic mode of nutrition.

Answer 2

Fungi follows saprotrophic mode of nutrition.

Explanation:

• The mode through which the living organisms intake the food is called as its mode of nutrition.
• The mode of nutrition is not same in all living organism. For example, the Whale intake its food through filtering, whereas snake intake its food through swallowing.
• Likewise, in the case of fungi, the mode of nutrition is saprotrophic. It is because, as it lacks chlorophyll it cannot prepare its own food.
• It is dependent on the dead and decaying organic matter for its nutrients. This mode of nutrition is called as saprotrophic nutrition.

Parasitic nutrition:

• The mode of nutrition in which the organism is totally dependent on the host for its survival is called as parasitic nutrition.
• This is seen in Cucuta.

Autotrophic nutrition:

• The mode of nutrition in which the living organism prepares its own food is called as autotrophic nutrition.
• The organisms having chlorophyll will have the ability to perform this mode of nutrition.
• Green plants are best example for this condition.

Holozoic nutrition:

• The mode of nutrition in which the organism obtains nutrients by ingesting the organism into its body is called as holozoic mode of nutrition.
• Amoeba has this mode of nutrition.

Thus, it is inferred that,

The mode of nutrition found in fungi is (d) Saprotrophic nutrition.
