NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi secure food through the action of enzymes (biological catalysts) secreted into the surface on which they are growing; the enzymes digest the food, which then is absorbed directly through the hyphal walls.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi are organisms that absorb nutrients from dead and deacying matter. For example, fungi like mushrooms grow on bread, pickle, dead plants and animals, etc., and obtain nutrients from them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi do not have stomachs. They must digest their food before it can pass through the cell wall into the hyphae. Hyphae secrete acids and enzymes that break the surrounding organic material down into simple molecules they can easily absorb. Fungi have evolved to use a lot of different items for food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from the environment. Fungi are heterotrophic: they rely solely on carbon obtained from other organisms for their metabolism and nutrition.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: (c) by breaking down the nutrients of bread and then absorbing them. it’s correct because fungi absorb nutrients from the surrounding environment.
