NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation of the correct answer. Fungi do not have chloroplasts. Kingdom Fungi are single-celled or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms with a cell wall. They do not contain chloroplasts or photosynthesize like plants do.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reason 1: Fungi Lack Chloroplasts They obtain nutrients by parasitizing fungi (mycoheterotrophic). We have arrived at our first reason fungi are not plants: fungi lack chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Fungi are heterotrophs, they do not have chlorophyll and cannot produce their food by themselves. Fungi depend on other organisms for their food requirements.

Detailed explanation-4: -The following membrane-bound organelles may be found in a typical fungal cell: nucleus: endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, secretory vesicles and vacuoles. Several of these organelles form extended membranous systems.

Detailed explanation-5: -The chitin adds rigidity and structural support to the thin cells of the fungus, and makes fresh mushrooms crisp. Most members of the kingdom Fungi lack flagella; the structures are completely absent in all stages of their life cycle. The only exception are the chytrids, which produce flagellated gametes.
