Which of the following fungal role parallels to that of bacteria?
Correct answer: A. Decomposer
- A. Decomposer
- B. Foodstuff
- C. Baking and brewing
- D. All of these
Explanation
The correct answer is Decomposer. Both fungi and bacteria play crucial roles as decomposers in ecosystems. They break down dead organic material, returning essential nutrients to the soil and supporting nutrient cycles. This ecological function is vital for the sustainability of ecosystems. The other options do not parallel roles that fungi and bacteria share. While fungi are indeed used as food and in baking and brewing, these roles are not shared by bacteria in the same way.
