Introduction:
Fungi are unicellular and multicellular organisms which have a cell wall but in the absence of chloroplasts in the cells do not carry out photosynthesis. They are saprophytes, which usually survive on dead and decaying organic material. Due to presence of cell wall, they were considered to be plants, but now they are placed in the separate kingdom − fungi.

Students have asked these similar questions
A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work.
A-You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.
B- You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.”
C-“You have all of the information correct.”
D- All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.

One trait animals and fungi share however is; Both groups are immobile Both groups undergo an alternation of generations Both have heterokaryotic cells Both groups are heterotrophsarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is the MOST compelling argument that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants? A. Plants have chloroplasts whereas fungi and animals cells do not. B. Plants fix carbon dioxide from the air; fungi and animals use pre-existing organic molecules. C. The DNA sequences of ribosomal RNA of fungi share more homology with ribosomal RNA from animals than plants. D. Both animal and fungal cells are eukaryotic.arrow_forwardWhat is diversity?

Which pair of groups contains the greatest number of organisms? genus and species • G phylum and class (H domain and genus ) domain and kingdom Two different kinds of organisms are as closely related as possible. Which statement is most likely true about the organisms? A) They are in the same genus. B They are in the same species. They share the same DNA.arrow_forwardHealth professionals refer to fungal skin diseases as "“tineas" and name them according to the region affected. Fungal skin diseases are persistent, in part, because fungi can penetrate deeper layers of skin than can ointments and creams. There are fewer antifungal drugs than ones, and antifungals often have more severe side effects. Reflect on the evolutionary relationships among bacteria, fungi, and humans. 1. List 5 different "Tineas" to show the connection between the name and the body parts affected from them. 2. Are fungi unicellular or multicellular organism? 3. Why it is harder to fight fungi than bacteria? 4. Why antifungals have more severe side effects?arrow_forward

Question 76 options: cell walls; cellulose; chitin cell walls; phospholipids; cellulose cell membranes; phospholipids; chitin cell walls; cellulose; peptidoglycanarrow_forwardWhat important role do fungi play in many ecosystems? Question 78 options: They perform photosynthesis. They decompose organic material. They disperse the fruits of angiosperms. They pollinate plants.arrow_forwardLichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.arrow_forward
