The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Organisms**: The question mentions Ulothrix and Spirogyra. First, we need to clarify what these organisms are. 2. **Classification**: Both Ulothrix and Spirogyra are not fungi. They are classified as algae. Algae are simple, photosynthetic organisms that can be found in various aquatic environments. 3. **Characteristics of Ulothrix**: - **Type**: Ulothrix is a filamentous green alga. - **Habitat**: It can be found in both marine and freshwater environments. - **Cell Structure**: Each cell of Ulothrix contains a nucleus and a vacuole, which stores food. It also has chloroplasts for photosynthesis. 4. **Characteristics of Spirogyra**: - **Type**: Spirogyra is also a green alga. - **Habitat**: It is primarily found in freshwater. - **Cell Structure**: Spirogyra is characterized by its spiral-shaped chloroplasts. It consists of thin, unbranched filaments and is known as free-floating algae. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the statement that Ulothrix and Spirogyra are types of fungi is incorrect. They are both types of green algae. ---
