    Question: Which of the following statements is/are true regarding fungi A. They are plants B. They cannot perform photosynthesis C. All fungi are unicellular D. some fungi help in producing antibiotics

    Options:

    A, B, C
    A, B, D
    B, C, D
    A, C, D

    📌 Concept:
    -Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that include yeasts, moulds, and mushrooms.
    -These organisms belong to the kingdom Fungi.
    -The organisms found in the Kingdom Fungi have a cell wal.
    -Among living organisms, they are classified as heterotrophs.
    Explanation:A. They are plants (TRUE)
    -Fungi are plants that do not have chlorophyll.
    -Fungi have a cell wall made which is made of chitin and obtain nutrients through absorption. 
    -They are unable to photosynthesis because they lack chlorophyll.
    -Fungi are either decomposers or parasites. Decomposers obtain their nutrients from decomposing biological matter
    B. They cannot perform photosynthesis (TRUE)
    -Fungi do not perform photosynthesis because fungi do not contain the green pigment chlorophyll.
    -Fungi obtain their food by absorbing dissolved molecules and secreting digestive enzymes into their surroundings.
    C. All fungi are unicellular (FALSE)
    -Fungi are both unicellular and multicellular.
    -With the exception of yeast, most fungi are multicellular. Yeast are unicellular.
    D. some fungi help in producing antibiotics (TRUE)
    -Antibiotics can be obtained naturally from bacteria or fungi (moulds are a type of fungi) or synthesized in laboratories.
    -Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, derived from the fungus Penicillium Notatum (a type of fungi).
