Absorptive heterotrophic nutrition is exhibited by
Correct answer: B. Fungi
- A. Algae
- B. Fungi
- C. Bryophytes
- D. Pteridophytes
Explanation
Fungi are the correct answer. Fungi are classic examples of organisms that exhibit absorptive heterotrophic nutrition. They secrete enzymes that break down complex organic matter in their surroundings (such as decaying organic material or living organisms) into simpler forms, which they then absorb as nutrients. This process allows them to obtain energy and essential nutrients for their growth and survival. Option B is correct.

About Biodiversity and Variety of Life
Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, binomial nomenclature and shared characteristics to organize life into kingdoms. The major groups include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals, with comparisons based on cell type, cell wall, nutrition, body organization, reproduction and evolutionary relationships; prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
