saprophtyc plants lack chlorophyll.........
What else can I help you with?
Organisms that lack chlorophyll and are parasites or saprophytes are classified as what?
They are fungi.
Is there term like obligate saprophyte and facultative saprophyte?
Yes, obligate saprophytes are organisms that can only survive by decomposing organic matter, while facultative saprophytes can switch between being parasitic and saprophytic depending on the availability of resources.
Is saprophyte prokaryotic?
No, saprophytes can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus and organelles, while eukaryotes have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Are mushroom parasites or saprophytes?
They are saprophytes because they live on other decaying matter for their food
What do you understand by saprophytes?
Saprophytes are the plants which derive their food from the dead and decaying organic matter
What is different between scavenger and saprophytes?
scavengers can highly concave animals or plants but saprophytes are microorganisms
What are the plants that are not green?
Saprophytes
Do saprophytes live on by eating plants?
Saprophytes are fungi and live of dead and decaying matter, not live plant material
What are the plants that are not green called?
Saprophytes
Why are saprophytes called saprophytes?
They Live of live or Dead Organic matter
Do saprophytes have thick walls called endospores?
No, saprophytes do not have thick walls called endospores. Endospores are a type of resistant structure formed by some bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, to survive harsh conditions. Saprophytes are organisms that obtain nutrients from decaying organic matter in their environment, such as fungi and some bacteria, but they do not form endospores.
Why do you think saprophytes are whitish or greyish in colour?
Saprophytes are often whitish or greyish in color due to their ecological role and the environments they inhabit. These colors can reflect the light conditions of their typical habitats, such as decaying organic matter, where lighter shades may help them blend in or avoid detection from potential predators. Additionally, the coloration may be influenced by the presence of certain pigments or the lack of chlorophyll, as saprophytes do not photosynthesize but instead derive nutrients from decomposing material. This adaptation aids their survival in nutrient-rich but less visually vibrant environments.
