- Describe the morphology of a fungi and what is it about their structure that makes them so good at being symbionts?arrow_forwardBoth bacteria and fungi are major environmental decomposers. Obviously competition exists in any given environment, but fungi usually have an advantage. What characteristics specific to fungi provide this advantage?arrow_forwardA 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. Qurdtion options: “You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall. “You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.” “You have all of the information correct.” “All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.”arrow_forward
