The option that identifies the stored form of food in fungi and plants is
Correct answer: B. Fungi: glycogen, Plant: starch
- A. Fungi: starch, Plant: glycogen
- B. Fungi: glycogen, Plant: starch
- C. Fungi: glycogen, Plant: glycogen
- D. Fungi: starch, Plant: starch
Explanation
The correct answer is that fungi store food as glycogen and plants store food as starch. Fungi are more similar to animals in this respect, storing energy in the form of glycogen. In contrast, plants store energy primarily as starch. Starch is a polysaccharide that serves as a storage form of energy in plants. Thus, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the storage forms in fungi and plants.
