4. Which of the following is a parasite?
(a) Mushroom
(b) Fungi
(c) stem
(c) Cuscuta
(d) haustoria
(d) Rhizobium


Sagot :

Answer:

C: Cuscuta is a parasite .

Explanation:

Mushrooms are a part of the fungi domain meaning that it is a decomposer.  I'm not too sure whether it means stem body cells or a stem in a plant. Either way both are not parasites. Cuscuta is a plant that does not have chlorophyll (they can't carry out photosynthesis) and since this plant cannot make its own food, it feeds off a host plant that can make food. An organism that needs a host to survive is called a parasite. Haustoria is a part of some parasites however it itself is not one. And finally Rhizobium is a bacteria that converts Nitrogen into ammonia which helps plants.

Sorry about the bad english. Hopefully this kinda helps
