Question

Fungi:
A) Are mostly multicellular
B) Are mostly unicellular
C) Prefer to grown in warm and dry places
D) May be autotrophs

Answer 1

Hint: A fungus is any eukaryotic organism that contains microorganisms like yeasts and moulds, as well as the more common mushrooms. Fungi are a genus of living organisms that have their own kingdom.

Complete answer:
Fungi are a distinct kingdom of heterotrophic species. With the exception of yeast, which is unicellular, fungi are multicellular and eukaryotes. Fungi are cosmopolitan organisms that can be found in the air, water, soil, and on animals and plants. They tend to grow in wet, humid environments.
Characteristic of Fungi:
1. Except for yeast cells, almost all fungi have a filamentous framework.
2. Fungi are made up of long thread-like structures called hyphae. Mycelium is a mesh-like structure formed by these hyphae.
3. Fungi have a cell wall composed of chitin and polysaccharides.
4. The cell wall is made up of protoplast, which differentiates into other cell components including the cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell organelles, and nuclei.
5. The nucleus is thick and transparent, with chromatin threads running through it. A nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus.

So the option A is the correct answer.

Note:
Types of fungi:
1. Chytrids, the species present in Chytridiomycota, are usually aquatic and microscopic in nature.
2. Zygomycetes are primarily terrestrial organisms that feed on plant detritus or rotting animal material.
3. Ascomycetes are often pathogens of plants and animals, including humans, where they cause infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and ergotism.
4. Basidiomycetes also contain sexual spores known as basidiospores in basidia cells. Basidiomycetes are commonly found in mushrooms.
