Heterotrophic fungi can live as
Heterotrophic fungi can live as
Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
- saprophytes
- symbionts
- parasites
- All of these
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
As, fungi are heterotrophic in their mode of nutrition, so they are saprophytic, parasitic and symbiotic. Saprophytic fungi are those which grow on dead organic matter (Mucor). Parasitic fungi obtain their food from living hosts (Erysiphe). Symbiotic fungi (Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) live in symbiotic association with algae and form lichen thalli.

Biological Classification
The process of grouping living organisms into categories is called biological classification. The most modern 5-kingdom classification was put ahead by an eminent scientist R.H.Whittaker. The five-kingdom classification is based on the criteria like cell structure, mode of nutrition, body form, and reproduction. One of the most important characteristics of this system is that it follows the evolutionary sequence of living organisms. The organisms are classified into distinct taxa or levels like Kingdom, Phylum, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The 5 kingdoms are as follows:
