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.Â
-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).
