All Fungi Are

Question

All fungi are:
A) unicellular.
B) multicellular.
C) autotrophic.
D) heterotrophic.

Accepted Answer

All fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by absorbing organic compounds from other organisms. They can be both unicellular (such as yeast) or multicellular (such as mushrooms). While some fungi form symbiotic relationships with autotrophic organisms (such as lichens), fungi themselves are not autotrophic.
