Amushroom gains its energy by decomposing the tissues of dead organisms. should mushrooms be classified as autotrophs, heterotrophs, in both groups, or in neither group, and for what reason? a. they are autotrophs because they do not eat their food, as animals do. b. they are autotrophs because decomposition is very similar to photosynthesis. c. they are heterotrophs because their food is made by other organisms. d. they are both autotrophs and heterotrophs, because they may grow in sunlight or darkness.

(C). They are heterotrophs because their food is made by other organisms.

Explanation:

Heterotrophs are those organisms that cannot food by their own and depend on other organisms for their food. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms they uptake there food from other living or dead organisms.

Mushrooms belong to kingdom fungi and uptake their food by decomposing dead remaining of organisms or feeding for energy production.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

b is the best answer for this question.

water is a polar molecule. a chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions. bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. so, false

explanation:

in h2o molecule, two water molecules are bonded by a hydrogen bond but the bond between two h - o bonds within a water molecule are covalent. the greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
