Most fungi derive nutrition through :

  • A.Photosynthesis
  • B.Engulfing bacteria
  • C.Digesting organic substrates
  • D.Engulfing protozoa

Answer: C

Most fungi obtain nutrition by Digesting organic substrates.

Fungi are heterotrophs with absorptive nutrition. Their hyphae secrete enzymes into the material they grow on (dead matter, or a host's tissues), digest it outside the body and absorb the small molecules released. This is why they are such important decomposers.

Fungi have no chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesise, and their rigid chitin walls prevent them from engulfing bacteria or protozoa, which is how amoeboid protists feed.
