Bacteria, Fungi, and Viruses

?
What type of nutrition do fungi undertake?
Saprotrophic
1 of 12
What does saprotrophic mean?
To take nourishment from dead or decfaying organic matter.
2 of 12
Can fungi carry out photosynthesis?
No. They have no chloroplasts.

What are hyphae?
Long threads of cells in fungi that contain many nuclei. They branch out by tip growth to create a large mycellium.

How do bacteria store DNA?
A small piece of circular DNA, as they have no nucleus.
