Biology Question on Biological Classification
Adhesive pad of fungi penetrate the host with the help of
A
Mechanical pressure and enzyme
B
Hooke and suckers
C
Softening by enzymes
D
Only by mechanical pressure
Answer
Mechanical pressure and enzyme
Explanation
Solution
Fungi use mechanical pressure and enzymes to penetrate the host and gain access to nutrients. The mechanical pressure allows them to physically breach the host's surface, and the enzymes help in breaking down and softening the host's tissues, making it easier for the fungus to extract nutrients. So, the correct option is (A): Mechanical pressure and enzyme
