Summary Introduction
To explain:
The
Concept introduction:
The fungi are the eukaryotic unicellular to multicellular organisms, which are placed into the kingdom Fungi. The cells walls of the fungi are comprised of chitins; they are heterotroph that is they are not able to synthesize their own food.

- Fungi were once classified in the same kingdom as plants. Which characteristic of fungi resulted in them being placed in a separate kingdom?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. 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.arrow_forwardFUNGI USED TO BE CLASSIFIED IN THE SAME KINGDOM AS PLANTS. IN TIME, SCIENTIST OBSERVED A KEY CHARACTERISTICS THAT REQUIRED RECLASSIFICATION. WHAT WAS THAT CHARACTERISTIC? Required to answer. Multiple choice.
