Which of the following is saprotrophic in nature ?
- Amoeba
- Euglena
- Mushroom
- Spirogyra
Answer
Mushroom
Reason — Mushroom can not synthesise their own food and depend on dead or decaying matter for their food. So, they are called saprotrophs. Amoeba are heterotrophic, feeds by engulfing food (holozoic). Euglena are mixotrophic (both autotrophic and heterotrophic). Spirogyra are autotrophic (photosynthetic algae).
