WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION As you read inthis chapter, fungi have long formed symbiotic associationswith plants and with algae. In a short essay (100–150 words),describe how these two types of associations may lead toemergent properties in biological communities.
Practice Bio question:
What is the biological definition of a fungus? Describe the five major groups of fungi and explain what distinguishes each group from the others.
Practice bio question:
Explain how fungi are essential to the proper functioning of ecosystems.
