Fungi are simple plants. Which one of the following statements about fungi is INCORRECT?

  • A.Fungi contain chlorophyll.
  • B.Fungi can act as parasites.
  • C.Fungi cannot make their own food.
  • D.Fungi can act as decomposers.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Fungi contain chlorophyll.

Fungi have no chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesise - which is why they must absorb organic nutrients, as saprotrophs or as parasites. The absence of chlorophyll is the main reason they are no longer classed as plants at all, but placed in a kingdom of their own.
