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.

Explanation:

  • 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)
