Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is true of fungi?
A
Like plants, they carry out photosynthesis
B
Like some prokaryotes, they are autotrophic
C
Like animals, they lack cell walls
D
Like protists, they are eukaryotic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungus-like protists are all heterotrophic, which means they obtain food from other living organisms. They are also eukaryotes, which means they have a nucleus and many organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungus-like Protists Like true fungi, they are heterotrophic feeders and absorb nutrients from decaying organic matter in their environment. They also reproduce using spores. However, they differ from true fungi in that their cell walls contain cellulose, rather than chitin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled. Other than these features, they have very little in common. You can think about protists as all eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, nor plants, nor fungi.

Detailed explanation-4: -The fungi (Mycota) are eukaryotic organisms that have a mycelial structure formed from slender filaments or hyphae (2–10m in diameter) that may be unbranched or branched, septate or nonseptate and which are commonly multinucleate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes include plants, animals, and fungi whose cells possess membrane-bound organelles and nuclei. Like other eukaryotic organisms, protists possess membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria.
