Solution
The correct option is B All of the above
Heterotrophic mode of nutrition
Heterotrophic nutrition is a type of mode of nutrition, where organisms rely on other organisms for food in order to survive. They are unable to prepare their own food. They can be classified into saprophytic, holozoic and parasitic. Saprophytic organisms thrive on dead and decaying organic matter. Parasitic organisms depend on a living host organism to derive nourishment. Holozoic organisms ingest the food as a whole with all the nutrients. The food is then broken down and the nutrients are absorbed and assimilated in the body. The waste products are ejected out of the body, after the entire process.
Monera
Members of the kingdom Monera have saprophytes and parasites. Saprophytic bacteria are Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli etc.
Parasitic/pathogenic bacteria are Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Agrobacterium, Xanthomonas, etc. They are the most abundant type of bacteria.
Fungi
Saprophytic fungi are mushrooms, Saccharomyces, Penicillium and Mucor.
Some parasitic fungi, for example, Albugo derives nutrition from mustard plants causing White rust disease.
Animalia
All members of the kingdom Animalia are heterotrophs.
Saprophytic/Saprotrophic animals feed on dead and decayed organic matter. For example, Pheretima (earthworms),
Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), Tapeworm (Taenia solium), Plasmodium, ticks, lice, etc. are all parasitic.
Holozoic animal – eg; Human being
Final answer
