Fungi Feed Through Extracellular Digestion and Then Absorption

Multiple Choice

Fungi feed through extracellular digestion and then absorption. How would the rates of decomposition of detritus be altered if fungicide (something that kills fungi) were sprayed on the forest floor?

A) Decomposition rates would be lowered because fungi would be destroyed.
B) Decomposition rates would be higher because bacteria would take over the role of decomposition, and they reproduce at faster rates than fungi.
C) Decomposition rates would be the same because fungi don't have hyphae above ground, so they would not be destroyed.
D) Decomposition rates would be lowered because fungi would choose to grow in an area without fungicide.
