Fungi can grow under all of the following conditions except
Correct answer: C. Without organic matter
- A. pH from 2 to 9
- B. Wide temperature range
- C. Without organic matter
- D. High osmotic pressure
Explanation
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that require organic matter to derive nutrients and energy, making it impossible for them to grow without it. This is why the correct answer is Option C: Without organic matter. Option A: pH from 2 to 9 is incorrect because fungi can grow in a wide range of pH levels. Option B: Wide temperature range is incorrect because fungi can adapt to various temperature conditions. Option D: High osmotic pressure is incorrect because many fungi can tolerate and even thrive in environments with high osmotic pressure.
