Fungi feed through extracellular digestion and then absorption. How would the rates of decomposition of detritus be altered if f

ungicide (something that kills fungi) were sprayed on the forest floor? A. Decomposition rates would be lowered because fungi would be destroyed. B. Decomposition rates would be higher because bacteria would take over the role of decomposition, and they reproduce at faster rates than fungi. C. Decomposition rates would be the same because fungi don’t have hyphae above ground, so they would not be destroyed. D. Decomposition rates would be lowered because fungi would choose to grow in an area without fungicide.

Answer:

Decomposition rates would be lowered because fungi would be destroyed.

Explanation:

The fungi are considered one of the decomposers of nature along with ascomycetes and the bacteria. The fungi are considered decomposers as the heterotrophic organism which absorbs the nutrients from the organism.

In the given question, when the fungicide was sprayed on the area with the fungus, then the decomposition rate of that area will decrease as the fungicide kills the fungi. As a result of this killing, the rate of decomposition will decrease in that area.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Compare and contrast autotrophs and heterotrophs
GREYUIT [131]
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemo-synthesis). Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms, both plants and animals for nutrition. hope this helps :)
