  • Fungi obtain nutrition as:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Heterotrophs that absorb food (often after external digestion)”,”Photosynthetic autotrophs like leaves”,”Chemosynthetic deep-sea plants”,”Filter-feeding animals”],”correct”:0,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Hyphae secrete enzymes and absorb products; they are not green plants.”}

  • Fungal cell walls typically contain:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Silica”,”Peptidoglycan”,”Cellulose only”,”Chitin”],”correct”:3,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Chitin distinguishes fungi from plants.”}

  • The vegetative body of a typical fungus is a network of:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Xylem vessels”,”Feathers”,”Green leaves”,”Hyphae forming a mycelium”],”correct”:3,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”A mycelium is the feeding body; a mushroom is often just the fruiting structure.”}

  • Mycorrhizae are:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Algal blooms”,”Mutualisms between fungi and plant roots”,”Viral diseases of humans”,”Types of fruit”],”correct”:1,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”The fungus gets carbon; the plant gets better mineral (especially phosphate) uptake.”}

  • Lichens are associations of:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Moss capsules only”,”Two animals”,”A fungus with a photosynthetic partner (alga or cyanobacterium)”,”Only gymnosperm wood”],”correct”:2,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”The fungus provides structure; the photobiont provides sugar.”}

  • Yeasts are:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Green algae”,”Always multicellular mushrooms”,”Fern prothalli”,”Mostly unicellular fungi”],”correct”:3,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Saccharomyces is used in baking and brewing.”}

  • Mushrooms are typically:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“Reproductive fruiting bodies that release spores”,”The entire feeding mycelium”,”Plant roots”,”Algal holdfasts”],”correct”:0,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Most of the fungus lives unseen in soil or wood.”}

  • True or false: Fungi are classified as plants because they have cellulose walls and chloroplasts.

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:113,”topic”:”06. Fungi”,”choices”:[“True”,”False”],”correct”:1,”type”:”true_false”,”explain”:”Fungi lack chloroplasts and have chitin walls; they form their own kingdom.”}
