Previous Year Question (PYQs)
Observe the dilemma of the fungus: It is a plant, but it possesses no chlorophyll. While all other plants put
the sun's energy to work for them combining the nutrients of ground and air into the body structure, the
chlorophylless must look elsewhere for energy supply. It finds it in those other plants which, having
received their energy free from the sun, relinquish it at some point in their cycle either to animals (like us
humans) or to the fungi.
In this search for energy the fungus has become the earth's major source of rot and decay. Whereever you
see mold forming on a piece of bread, or a pile of leaves turning to compost, or a blown-down tree becoming
pulp on the ground, you are watching a fungus eating. Without fungus action the earth would be piled high
with the dead plant life of past centuries. In fact, certain plants which contain resins that are toxic to fungi
will last indefinitely; specimens of the redwood, for instance, can still be found resting on the forest floor
centuries after having been blown down
The passage states all the following about fungi EXCEPT;
The passage states all the following about fungi EXCEPT;

It states that resin-producing plants are toxic to fungi, not that fungi are poisonous to them. So option (4) is not mentioned in the passage.Online Test Series, Information About Examination,
