Question

Your teacher describes an organism that digests its food externally before absorbing it. You also find out that this organism cannot move. Based on what you’ve learned, what type of organism is this? (bacterium, protist, plant, animal, fungi)

Answer 1

Based on the description of the organism that digests its food externally before absorbing it and cannot move, it is most likely a **fungus**. Fungi are known for their ability to secrete enzymes into their environment to break down complex organic materials, which they then absorb. They also typically do not have the ability to move like animals do.
