NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungal spores are microscopic biological particles that allow fungi to be reproduced, serving a similar purpose to that of seeds in the plant world. Fungi decompose organic waste and are essential for recycling of carbon and minerals in our ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi cannot make their food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide as plants do, in the process known as photosynthesis. This is because they lack the green pigment known as chlorophyll, which plants use to capture light energy. So, like animals, they must obtain their food from other organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between plants and fungi is that fungi lack chlorophyll (green matter). This means that they can’t make their own food from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Instead, like animals, they must obtain food from other organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi are important recyclers of nutrients in the forest and help plants take up minerals from the soil. Fungi are not plants. While plants make their own food in their leaves using sunlight and carbon dioxide (CO2), fungi can’t do this. Instead, fungi have to get their food from other sources, living or dead.
