Organisms are classified as fungi if they?

Answer 1

Fungi are classified as such if they display the following traits:

1. Fungi cannot make their own food. They depend on other organisms for their carbon source.

2. Fungi have membrane-bound organelles.

3. The body of the fungus takes the following forms:

• yeast- one-celled organism that reproduce asexually, by budding or fission
• mycelium- collective, filamentous strands that make up the fungal thallus
• both yeast and mycelium at the same time

4. The mycelium/yeast has a cell wall.

5. Fungi absorp their nutrition (transport food from their substrate into their cell walls.)

6. Reproduction occurs via spores.

Answer 2

Organisms are classified as fungi if they are eukaryotic, spore-producing, heterotrophic organisms that typically have cell walls made of chitin. They reproduce both sexually and asexually, and most fungi obtain nutrients through absorption.
