Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fungi are classified as heterotrophs because ____
A
have chlorophyll
B
life does not need other living things
C
needs the rest of other living things to live
D
life is neither saprophyte nor parasitic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi do not contain chlorophyll or carry out photosynthesis. As fungi feed on dead and decayed organisms they are heterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -All fungi are heterotrophic, which means that they get the energy they need to live from other organisms. Like animals, fungi extract the energy stored in the bonds of organic compounds such as sugar and protein from living or dead organisms. Many of these compounds can also be recycled for further use.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within Domain Eukarya, kingdoms Fungi and Animalia are entirely heterotrophic, though most fungi absorb nutrients through their environment. Most organisms within Kingdom Protista are heterotrophic while Kingdom Plantae is almost entirely autotrophic, except for myco-heterotrophic plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Fungi are heterotrophs like animal because they lack chlorophyll like structure in their body and because of that they cannot synthesize their own food . they cannot perform photosynthesis. they meet their demand of food through dead organic matter or living organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fungi are heterotrophic-they obtain their organic material from external sources, their environment. They have no chlorophyll; they are not green in color. In comparison, most plants are autotrophic, they are able to manufacture their food from solar radiation and water.
