Food reserve material in fungi is mainly;
Correct answer: B. Oil and glycogen
- A. Starch
- B. Oil and glycogen
- C. Glucose
- D. Fat
Explanation
Fungi store energy primarily in the form of oils and glycogen. This differs from plants, which use starch as their main storage carbohydrate. Glycogen serves as a form of energy storage in fungi akin to its role in animals. Starch and glucose are not significant storage forms in fungi, with starch being common in plants and glucose being more of an immediate energy source. While fats can be a storage form, they are not as prominent as oils and glycogen in fungi.
