Why are fungi called saprophytes?
That is like saying "Are humans vegetarians?" Because fungi are a range of eaters! From parasites (feeders on live plants, trees and organisms) to saprophytes (Feeders of dead material) to mycorrhizical fungi. (Fungi which get energy by making relationships with trees and evenly sharing nutrients)
Are fungi autotrphs?
No, fungi are not autotrophs. They are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain their nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment.
Are fungi autotrophs heterotroph or both?
Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain nutrients by absorbing them from their environment rather than producing their own through photosynthesis. They decompose organic matter or live as parasites on other organisms.
What do green algae supply to the fungi in the symbiotic relationship of lichens?
Green algae in lichens contribute sugars through photosynthesis to provide energy to the fungi. In return, the fungi provide a protective environment and help the algae absorb water and nutrients from the environment.
Are fungi photoautotrophs?

What is the advantage of fungi secreting antibiotics?

What are parasiti c fungi?
