How are fungi different from plants in obtaining food?
Protists have a variety of ways of getting energy, not all of them are decomposers. Those that are typically ingest their food before breaking it down with enzymes. Fungi secrete enzymes into the environment and absorb the released nutrients. If you are asking how fungi are different from fungus-like protists, then the answer is more involved. Fungi synthesize lysine with a different pathway than protists and they have plate-like cristae in their mitochondria as opposed to the tubular cristae found in protists. As well, fungal hyphae growth is the result of a Spitzenkorper, an organization of cellular components including microtubules and vaculoes. Prostists lack this center of organization in their hyphae. As well, fungi have a single, whiplash flagellum that is posteriorly orientated. Prostists show variety in their flagella.
How do fungi get their nutrition?
Fungi secrete enzymes into the environment. These enzymes breakdown/degrade organic compounds and release the nutrients stored in those compounds. The nutrients are then absorbed by the fungus. Some fungi are able to secrete enzymes that transform unusable, inorganic forms of nutrients into usable forms, which are then absorbed.
Why are some kingdom protista misfits?
Single-celled organism which has a eukaryotic cell, but which is not a member of the plant, fungal, or animal kingdoms. The main protists are protozoa.
Are humans related to fungi?
Fungi are different from humans in several basic ways. First, fungi do not ingest their food as humans do; rather, they grow into their food. Humans ingest food, secrete enzymes to degrade it, and absorb the released nutrients and simpler compounds. Fungal hyphae grow into a potential food source, release enzymes, and then absorb the relaeased nutrients. Also, fungal cells have a wall of chitin while human cells lack a wall of any sort. Humans are unable to synthesize lysine, but fungi are capable of doing so. Humans are cabable of movement, while most fungi are not. (Chytrids are capable of moving via a motile spore.)
What do ringworm's do to you inside your body?
Ring worm is a fungal infection of the skin. The fungi produces hyphae which invade the dead cells in your skin. However, the enzymes they produce irritate the living cells, which mount a defense. This causes the itchy, sore red areas.

Is diabetes a fungal disease?
There is no evidence that diabetes is a fungal disease. The causes of type 1 diabetes are unknown.
What do the cells of protists fungi plants and animals have in common?
nothing plant and fungal have nothing in common, neither do animal and fungal cells!

What are the main subgroups of protists?
animal-like protist and plant-like protist DUHH -LOL some1 wasn't listening in biology. they are protozoa, algae or fungal-like protists.
The breakdown of dead organisms is assisted by the fungal production of?
enzymes or letter C
Why are some kingdom protista misfits?

Which type of cell has no cell wall and which type of cell does?
Animal cells and some protists e.g., amoeba, have no cell wall. Plant and fungal cells have walls. In plants the wall is composed of cellulose while fungal cells have cell walls composed of chitin.
How a mold growing on an orange obtains its food.?
As the fungal hyphae expand into the orange, they produce enzymes. These enzymes break down different chemicals in the orange. The degraded chemicals are then absorbed by the hyphae to be used as food.
What are the medicinal actions of garlic?
Antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal properties, improves the immune system, digestive aid, prevents platelet aggregation.
When a mycelium infiltrates an unexploited source of dead organic matter what are most likely to appear within the food source soon thereafter?
fungal enzymes
