Question

what is the main function of a funguss hyphae?
○ absorption of nutrients
○ movement in water
○ predator protection
○ photosynthesis

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Fungal hyphae are thread - like structures. Fungi are heterotrophs and rely on absorbing nutrients from their environment. Hyphae have a large surface area which helps in the absorption of nutrients (like organic matter, minerals) from the surrounding substrate. Movement in water is not a main function of hyphae. Fungi don't have hyphae for predator protection as their main defense mechanisms are different. Also, fungi are not capable of photosynthesis as they lack chlorophyll, so hyphae can't perform photosynthesis. So the main function of a fungus's hyphae is absorption of nutrients.

Answer:

absorption of nutrients
