Organisms of which ordering of the following kingdom has absorptive mode of nutrition?
Correct answer: D. Fungi
- A. Prokaryotae
- B. Animalia
- C. Protoctista
- D. Fungi
Explanation
The kingdom Fungi is the correct answer. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that primarily obtain their nutrition through an absorptive mode of nutrition. They secrete enzymes externally onto their food source, which helps break down complex organic materials into simpler molecules. Once the organic matter is broken down, fungi absorb the nutrients directly into their cells. This external digestion and absorption of nutrients set fungi apart from other kingdoms and make them the organisms with the absorptive mode of nutrition in the options given.
