Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs, and use spores to reproduce are called:
A
bacteria
B
fungi
C
viruses
D
eugelena
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction: Fungi are a kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food and rely on other sources) and play key roles in nutrient recycling in an ecosystem. They are also called eukaryotic fungi. Fungi include microorganisms like yeasts, molds, and mushrooms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi primarily depend on the dead and decaying organic matter for their nutrition. They release enzymes that can break down the organic matter, which is then absorbed by them. So, they are heterotrophic. They have a nuclear membrane, hence are eukaryotic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi are eukaryotes and have a complex cellular organization. As eukaryotes, fungal cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus where the DNA is wrapped around histone proteins. A few types of fungi have structures comparable to bacterial plasmids (loops of DNA).
