Question

Which is true for fungi?
A. They are heterotrophs
B. They lack nuclear membrane
C. They are phagotrophs
D. They lack rigid cell walls

Answer 1

Hint:-Any member of the group of organisms which are eukaryotic in nature and which includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds are said to be a fungus. Since the fungal organisms have the characters of both the animals and plants, thus have been classified into a new kingdom. Some of the mushrooms are also included in this phylum.

Complete answer:
All types of fungi typically derive their nutrition from the other organisms which are living or dead.
Thus, we can say that they are heterotrophs.
A phagotrophs is an organism which feeds by feasting organisms or organic constituents in macro amounts, which are digested within its body. But fungi intake micronutrients only.
The fungal organism is said to be achlorophyllous, spore forming, and non-vascular. In addition, they are eukaryotic organisms which often comprise of chitin which is also called as fungal cellulose in their walls. Thus, their cell wall is not rigid.
The nuclear membrane which is also known as the nuclear envelope is normally made up of two lipid bilayer membranes. It normally surrounds the nucleus, and also encases the genetic material in eukaryotic cells.
So, the correct answer is heterotrophs.

Note:- Most people confuse that fungi are saprophytic, since they obtain food from the dead and decaying matter. However, it is a fact that the fungi also eat the food material from the living organisms. And thus, they are heterotrophic in nature. The fungi are said to be heterotrophs. However, on the other hand, it is said that some of the fungal organisms are autotrophs. Since they can make their own food using green colour pigment present in them.
