Answer 2

Answer:

A) Fungi does not contain chlorophyll.

Explanation:

Nutrition in Fungi:

• Chlorophyll does not exist in the cells of fungi.
• As a result, they are unable to create food and must rely on other living or dead things for nutrition.
• They are heterotrophic and can be classified as saprophytes, parasites, symbionts.
• They exist as saprophytes, meaning they acquire their nutrition from the environment, and they perform an important function in nature by digesting dead species and releasing nutrients for reuse by living creatures.
• Some organisms have a symbiotic relationship with another organism, usually a plant. A mycorrhiza is a fungus-plant root symbiotic relationship.
• Some fungi are parasitic and cause significant harm to their hosts.
