Fungi are heterotrophic. They get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from the environment. Fungi, along with bacteria that are found in soil, are the primary decomposers of organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems.
Answer:
The correct answer is: a) osmosis.
Explanation:
- Osmosis can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules (in this case water) tend to move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low by the process of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
- Active Transport can be defined as the physiological process in which molecules are forced to move from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This process requires the expenditure of energy and is usually mediated by carrier proteins or integral membrane proteins which span across the plasma membrane.
- Filtration can be defined as the physical process by which insoluble solute molecules are separated from the solvent molecules by the help of a porous filter paper which allows the solvent molecules to pass through it but restricts the insoluble solute molecules from passing through it.
- Diffusion can be defined as the physical process by which molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to a region where its concentration is low. However, unlike osmosis, there is no semi-permeable membrane which separates the two regions.
The answer is A!
A.) Glucose is a less stable carbon compound than carbon dioxide is.
