Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Mycelium
- Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. Hyphae is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus.
- Mycelium helps in the absorption of nutrients from its environment.
- The process occurs in two stages:- first, hyphae secrete enzymes onto the food source which breaks down biological polymers into smaller units as monomers.
- Second, these monomers are absorbed into mycelium by facilitated diffusion and active transport.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
