The correct answer is b) yeast, mushroom, bread mould.
Explanation:
These organisms are classified as saprophytes, meaning they break down complex organic matter outside their bodies using enzymes, then absorb the simpler nutrients.
Why other options are incorrect:
a) mushroom, green plants, amoeba:
Green plants are autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Amoeba is a heterotroph, but it ingests food particles directly into its cell.
c) paramecium, amoeba, cuscuta:
Paramecium is also a heterotroph, but it ingests food. Cuscuta is a parasitic plant that absorbs nutrients directly from its host plant.
d) cuscuta, lice, tapeworm:
Cuscuta is a parasite, as mentioned before. Lice and tapeworms are also parasites, internal parasites that absorb nutrients directly from their host’s body.
