Answer:

The correct option is: b) may also be an opportunistic pathogen

Explanation:

Commensalism is a kind of symbiotic relationship between two different biological organisms. <u>In this interaction, one of the organism is benefited whereas the other organism is neither harmed nor benefited.</u>

The organism that gains benefits from the host is known as the commensal. The commensal may obtain benefits like shelter, nutrients, protection, and locomotion.

<u>However, the commensal bacteria can be an opportunistic pathogen.</u>

Opportunistic pathogens are the pathogens that can cause an infection or a disease if the host has a weak immune system.

How do fungi break down leaves, fruit, and other organic material into simple molecules?
morpeh [17]
Fungi are eukaryotic and saprophytic microorganisms that grow on dead and decaying matter. These organisms release digestive enzymes that break down  leaves, fruit and other organic material into simple molecules. These can grow on wood, clothes, food, fruits, leather shoes, etc by breaking down complex organic matter into simpler forms with the help of extracellular digestive enzymes such as cellulases, proteases, phosphatases, etc.
