What is the main characteristic of Kingdom Fungi in Whittaker's classification?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are heterotrophic and saprophytic

Correct answer: B, fungi are heterotrophic and commonly saprophytic. Fungi contain chlorophyll neither generally nor use photosynthesis to manufacture their food. They obtain ready-made organic nutrients from their surroundings by secreting digestive enzymes and absorbing the simpler substances produced. When they feed on dead and decaying material, they are called saprophytic or saprotrophic. Fungi are eukaryotic, so their cells have a true nucleus, and their cell wall is generally made of chitin. A is wrong because photosynthesis is not their usual mode of nutrition. C is wrong because fungi are not prokaryotes. D is wrong because a cell wall is present. Memory cue: “Fungi digest outside and absorb inside.”
